Guest Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 All, As this is now a holiday and not a race, the PMC will supply a 7.5t luton and a minibus or two for the duration of the trip. So in a nutshell, ground support will be supplied. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'd like to register for 2011. I would have volunteered for ground support except spring next year I'll be right at the end of my paramedic course. Tj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquaddie Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think the ground crew will be harder to get this time round. I think all the old Tip to Tip ground crew will go this time Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think if the ground crew didn't have to pay for the trip then you would get more people interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helimed01 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Having eventually got through all ther posts to this amazing thread my thoughts: The race idea over long distance really excites me, not for the prize money but for the event. However, an all out race over long distance will split the field massively and remove the main attraction of the event being the social gathering of like minded crazy people. It will also possibly create risk. Having a bivouc style flying holiday is equally a great idea. Why not combine the two elements. Each day starts and finishes in the same location for the whole field. The task to reach goal (next evening BBQ spot) can be set to be achievable for all levels of pilot but measured over accuracy of navigation and speed for those that want to compete. For those that don't want to compete they can reach goal via any scenic route they plan. Prizes for usual things, broken props, least miles covered by paramotor, person who got the most lost / off track . etc etc. By the way; count me in .

norman Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) I can't miss this. Count me in! 'Love your suggestion Whitters, I think we are moving towards a synthesis that shows a lot of promise. Hmmmm, I love prizes. How about 'WOTD'?

Guest Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 OK, so that's 21 people now. (and what an awesome bunch of people it is too!) Time to get my arse in gear! LOL Anyone fancy helping with some web stuff related to this trip, please PM or reply. (you need to be a bit of a website geek to accept this task) more info offline. As an aside, can any one of the 20 people talk French? I think it could be handy if we had an 'interupter' with us on the trip. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
