paul_grover Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi Greg - would love to but am stuck in Chichester until later. Will try to swing by if I’m not too late. Have you checked in with Barry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could move it into the Surrey forum but there hasn't been much traffic in there in the past... I normally fly late, typically take off 1930 or 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Just checked the weather again, possibly a little on the gusty side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_grover Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Might be an idea. Gusty here at the moment too - could die down later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the seal is relatively easy, but if both the old and the new seals leaked then there may be some other problems, I fear. I`ll give it a try with another seal first. Looked pretty rough this evening when I was driving on the Hog`s Back at 7PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_grover Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 yup - afraid I just passed on by back to London - still gusting plenty here now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 As for me, I fell asleep due to getting up at stupid o'clock for a cheeky early.morning flight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexB1188 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Anyone else for bunking off Friday and going flying? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Ooh, might be tempted. Last time I checked the forecast it was very borderline but it looks like it's improved a little.. What sot of time were you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexB1188 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Weather dependant obviously. But forecast is for a clear day after a clear night so my guess is it could be a little bit bumpy and less enjoyable around midday, so probably first thing and mid-afternoon or both.

AlexB1188 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Agreed though that it might be borderline. Will keep an eye on it for the next 24hrs before messaging Barry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddyc Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi Alex I would be up for going to Barry 's field on Friday , have never been there ,would love to meet up Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cianpars Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Borderline wind wise and a bit gusty. relative humidity also remains high all day so not sure if the mist is going to lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddyc Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Looks gusty over quit a large area , might be wise for me to stay on the ground , have been caught out before ,was not fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I always play it safe. However... The Met office ballooning forecast reckons 6-10 at 14:00, that's within limits I would think (depending on what actually happens on the day)?

noddyc Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 That sounds great . If you do go please let me know ,I have never been there and would love to go , even if I do not get to fly at all. Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregwatson Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 No higher than now though, and there's no mist today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexB1188 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 You read my mind! I'm wondering if I should try and fit in a cheeky flight. Morning looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
