e2vdavidb Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Big shout out to Tony and the Davidstow club for a couple of days taking advantage of the break in the weather before the storm arrives. smooth air today and managed 4 flights before I lost the feeling in my feet i suspect the next days will be maintaining only but great full for a winter fligh. Merry Christmas to all fellow flyers and those in the background acting as support allowing us the privilege of our hobby. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Dave No, thank you. If you didn't come over I wouldn't been flying today. You're welcome anytime. Enjoy the rest of your holiday up country. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin (Simon W) Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Summer Fly-in is looking 'likely' to be Cornwall SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 North Cornwall across Bodmin moor. Stunning and lucky to get the weather window. Last year managed a equally stunning flight up the Tamar river bordering Devon and Cornwall from Saltash to Gunnerslake. seeing how the members map is growing would be good to make a local flying to member locations so we don't pressure any individual locations. I'd be up for a trip over from Germany again for a Airborne Grand Tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking1000 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Thanks. I enjoyed watching that. I can't wait to get enough experience to 'leave the nest' to do that sort of thing and this weather isn't helping either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I'm a mature and still new pilot with under 100 flights but having done the APPI and advanced training this year I'm ok with going out and flying solo. I think in this sport we never stop learning and my advice is to find a local club or contact and fly in company. The member map here is growing so opertunities to meet and fly are also increasing. Sometimes waiting isn't frustrating but from experience I can say it's definitely better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than the other way around That said silk glove liners make a huge difference as does thermals a flight suit and warm socks, crisp air gives good lift and when the stars align go for it.
