haze Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 According to the various weather sites, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are looking nice and flyable. Anyone up for getting some air-time? (Probably from Barry's but maybe the other sites). Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I believe Mr High Pressure will be visiting (unfortunately bringing his friend the North Sea cloud ) but count me in, evenings only though, I'm hoping to head over to Membury too if I get a break between jobs.

peter_6095 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I would be really up for Saturday morning if the weather is still good - would be great to check out Barry's field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Steve, you got yourself a training field yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Sort of. More to follow. Peter: In theory, yep, I'd be up for Saturday AM....but early, as I'm off out during the day. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 hey guy's count me in!!! can't do wed morning but the rest of the week is looking free for me... I am easy where you want to fly from but if your going to go to barry's then i will need some notice to get there on time... I am not sure if seymore is back from his cornish trip so not sure if we can go over to his? but if your up for some coastal flying then i will ask. my field is ok to fly from at the moment but they are ploughing the one next to it so not sure how long its going to be before that is out of action again!!

haze Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey Morgy, It's Luke's birthday on Thursday, so how about a seaside flight then? He fancies a big cross country flight, and it'll be a Northerly wind, so we could drive down to you and then fly northwards against the wind for a trip. Sound good? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 cool sounds good to me will check out my north take off field otherwise its up to seymore's..... that reminds me i have to ring him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_6095 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Steve - early Saturday sounds great to me. I'll keep an eye on the forecast and get back to you later in the week. Can you send me a grid / directions for the field? Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Guys, unfortunately I'm going to have to drop out of the loop, been stitched up at work this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Guy's It was good to meet up with you guy's for a fly again... Sorry we turned back half way but i could see that the wind had picked up and had turned to the E so that would mean our return was going to up wind all the way... I hope you all made it to colemore common and back to barry's ok Also i thought you were all heading for RAF oakhanger "IMO That was a no fly zone" I was hugging the hog's back to the north just incase... please correct me if i am wrong. But i never like to fly into red zone at all no matter if they are inactive or not. PLus i do not fly with gps so i do like to give things like that a WIDE birth just incase. anyway hope all was ok for your return trip... ps happy 30th birthday again luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
