timhorrox Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Very newbie, in fact. No kit, no training as yet. Had a punter dual flight in Turkey in the summer which was grand, aloft for about 35mins - not bad considering I am 100kg. Still, the pilot was a stick insect! Have training paid for with Axis in Abergavenny, just need to set dates for a long weeknd or similar. Lambourn is a quick whizz down the A34, so that might be a good option for those odd days. Simon, tell me more... Was at the show last weekend, and I think Giles talked me and my flying buddy into a Parajet. Think I'll get the flying bit sorted, or at least some basic wing handling, before I commit though. Have been in touch with Lawrence via this forum, who is also based in Aylesbury, so we may have the makings of a club up here...but it's early days. Very interested in the John O'Groats to Lands End trip...sounds like it should be filmed...I feel a documentary coming on. Has anybody thought of tying up with Balloon groups on the route - they will know all the good flying sites. I still know a few people from when I was involved in that in the years BC (Before Children)... Love to hear from anyone who is in the area...

gavdo Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Tim Nice to see another local guy. I am also in Aylesbury and a newby. If you want to pass me your details we can meet up and do some ground handeling. I currently have a spare training wing you can use, and a good secondhand wing if you are in the market for one. regards Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
