slim Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Is there anyone who lives near Reading planning to go? I don't mind being the designated driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanhinsaudi Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I would love to be involved in this but I can't make the meeting, a little problem of 3000 miles! on the up side I'm already a quarter of the way to Australia and I'm used to dealing with rugged terrain and dangerous creatures including snakes, scorpions & large ugly flesh eating spiders! I'm told by my boss (ex RAAF pilot) who has extensive knowledge of flying in that part of the country that it is like flying in the empty quarter (a name given to a large part of Saudi with nothing it).

tracey Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Ah! Your number is indeed correct. I, on the other hand, have handed in my notice at work today, and am consequently a little bit tipsy (ie. a bit smashed) and cannot seem to read numbers straight. So... my fault Look forward to meeting eveyone tomorrow night Txo. (*hic*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracey Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Simon and the Team!! 2010 seems oh, so far away... my mind is already churning out all sorts of things to do and get organised and I can't wait for the next meet! Until then, I'll just hope that the weather clears enough to get an hour or two's decent flying under my belt! Happy dreams guys! Tracey PS. Getting to your neck of the woods was no trouble at all.

pete_b Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If anyone else is thinking about this trip then please just come to one of the meetings to find out more. If you dont consider it you wont go and you may miss a once in a lifetime adventure. Nice to see new and familiar faces and colins AHHHHHHHHHHH Pete b It is hard but not that hard to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcs Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'm considering it but just too damn busy mastering a song for the last one at the moment, it's tough being an artist you know! I guess the next one will be Paramotoring Matilda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_barbour Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi Simon, It was good speaking to you the other day and thanks for taking time to explain a bit more about your proposed expedition to me and what has been set up so far. As we discussed there is a long way to go with a lot of logistical work to be done and as with all these types of project it is something that evolves all the time. This will be no small undertaking and sounds like a great project to involved in. Obviously you are in the pre production stages of the expedition and as yet nothing is set in concrete or confirmed but it sounds like a very challenging and exciting project. As mentioned I was unable to make your first meeting as I was away in Spain on a Paramotor course there and then straight off to Oman on work commitment. Unfortunately I will be unable to make the next meeting which I believe is on the 14th November as I am back to Oman again but just want to say that I am interested in the expedition and feel I may have some skills that I can bring to the table that would be of use to you and your team. Obviously missing these meetings is not a good start in showing an interest in the project but work is work as I am sure you will understand. I will keep an eye on the site for details of up and coming meetings and hopefully will be able to make the one of them so I can meet you and your team personally and discuss this expedition further. Until then all the best with the project as it progresses. Cheers Duncan barbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
