paramotormike Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Luke. I live well inland, but where were you thinking of flying from. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukebanks1 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Mike, South coast probably Newhaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymore Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Luke I,m down in cornwall , camping out around Hayle. I managed a short flight this evening over the beach but it was a bit windy. Earlier in the day I was overpowered kitesurfing with an 8m, a couple of hours later the sun came out and the wind dropped to nearly nothing, however by the time I got my shit together it started to cloud over again and the wind was just a little too much to go anywhere. . I am staying another night and hope to fly here tomorrow. I will probably not be around to fly on tuesday, but the rest of the week looks OK so might fly off the farm. Have fun Seymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukebanks1 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nick - see you soon Seymore - sounds like an ideal way to spend the day kiting in the morning and flying in the afternoon. I'm off all week so let me know when you're going flying and I'll join you. I'm planning on going down to cornwall last weekend of Jan for some flying and kiting too.

paramotormike Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looks like it might be blown out tommorow down in Newhaven? Wind is out to sea from the land too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukebanks1 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Afraid so Mike Wednesday onwards looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymore Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I went for a really nice flight along the north Devon coast from Lyn-mouth to Ilfracombe along the cliffs. It was a sunny day with a light NW , so after the flight I did another hour paragliding from Countisbury hill, which is my favourite coastal soaring site with a near vertical drop of 900 ft to the sea below. I,m back in sussex and if anyone wants to fly from here Wednesday afternoon there are some pretty good floods to fly over on the river Arun that make Pulborough look like it is on a very large lake.

Guest Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Nice pictures !! I love flying the North Devon coast... it is an awesome bit of coastline with loads of camping possibilities. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Looks superb. Those (not) bottom landing options make our NW coastal flying seem as extreme as an OAP's knitting class ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymore Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Friday: It should be a nice afternoon today, does anyone want to come and join me in a flight along the downs. The weekend looks a bit windy around here. + some pics of wednesday flying over the Arun' in flood which has now gone down quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
