Don't worry about the Bore @admin (Simon W)... We all go for the flying and the social anyway, so just change it to 'Boreless Chasers' for the spring and we'll all be there! ??

Looking for the link... ?

Exactly. Better for it to over-rev without a prop on or whilst it’s on your back.

Fuel left in a plastic container breaks down the plastic which, not only turns your tank yellow, but it degrades the fuel. You can read lots about this online. Buy a metal jerry can and a syphon (you can get a good/cheap one from Screwfix). Syphon your leftover fuel from your paramotor into the metal jerry can when packing your gear up. It takes about 2 minutes. Fuel lasts longer in a metal can because it does not get plastic contaminants over time. https://www.screwfix.com/p/laser-fuel-transfer-tool-8mm/

@cas_whitmore some stats from RunwayHD...

We both used about 5L of fuel. Cruising with about half speed bar for me (Steve said he had nearly full speed bar on intermittently) and a slight cross-wind. It took about 30 mins to get there and about 25 to get back. Cruised around the Common for about 15-20 mins (and not in a gay way!! ?)

Cheers @cas_whitmore ?? Yeah - pretty much from Steve’s place. Taking off in nil wind with 11L of fuel was pretty tough though! ?

Did a nice 55km XC flight with @steve342 today to Greenham Common. A bit cold, but super smooth. ?
