haze Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'll definitely be up for this one and will bring the missus too. I love Snowdonia. It's one of my favourite places and I have been meaning to take a ride around the mountains since I started flying. This could be an amazing fly-in if the weather is nice!

jock Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Provisional date: 30 AprilThis is the weekend after easter. Lots of people have other plans for easter weekend with the family etc. (earning brownie points for the following weekend ) Pencil it in your diary. This is assuming I square it with the landowner who i will visit in the coming weeks. Just looked in diary and that weekend is a long one too cos monday is may day.... Meds is that were the flying leek, pete jones flphg & and his ppg mates fly.they have some nice feilds in north wales i could email him as a back up place just incase,if you want.

aquatix Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks like some fairly strong lee-side thermal activity was going on in that video, even as late as mid September. Did you feel much turbulence above summit height ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Jock that would be a fine ideaalways a good plan to have a back up I will give pete a shout.do we pay the farmers any money for the feild when you have flyins.just so i know so i can tell pete,i will find out if he & his pals pay anything. ive free flown conway mountain its a great site with big beachs etc.& a mcdonalds you can land by.i would love to fly snowdonia ppg/flphg.roll it on///// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Normally they ask for a £100 or so. there is also the cost of a porta loo or similar brand of mobile toilet (normally £100) So if you aim off to recover a couple of hundred quids.... I would say that would be a safe bet Expect to pay a tenner or so to cover any costs. (hence the vote) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Also, although a little early I know...... Would be a good idea to put a NOTAM in knowing the area and what happens in it's airspace. Just a heads up for the future. If you need any help, just ask Pete B who is old hat at this fly-in stuff SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 PS, I am loving that another member (or two) has jumped in to arrange a PMC fly-in. I am sure with a few more keen people we could double the number of fly-ins we have each year with ease. There is no harm in filling the calender early, so if you want one at your place, get the conversations going now I am working on somewhere special for the main summer fly-in which we will have to have in June due to Australia 2011 commitments. www.australia2011.com for anyone who has been asleep for the last year or so SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleek Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sorry, the field I fly from is a no-no due to a pending planning application for 56day use of the field for flying. I'd really like to come to the fly-in. Pete Jones (flyingleek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquatix Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Bloody 'ell - 7500 acres ???? No need to panic about a tricky spot landing then ...... ? Shell Island would be a fantastic site but not sure they would be too keen on paramotors spoiling the tranquility. Same with Fforest fields, who advertise they are a "paraglider friendly" campsite: http://www.fforestfields.co.uk/activities/paragliding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
