paramotormike Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Glad we got the hang point sorted. Battery on GOPro died after 4 hours in the cold, so did not get you landing sorry Jock. Here is a still from the flight to the Malverns. Great day. Good to see you all again. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_p Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Good to seeyou both yesterday and nice to meat mr two trees. Hope to catch up again soon. Great pic mike.

jock Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi Jock . Fab.What is your Malvern Paragliding site. Do you have a link. Cheers Mike. Send me your email address to jock1geo@hotmail.com and i will send both links my own facebook page, and my malvern hang gliding paragliding group.as to the lawnmower gang some pgs who flew down from the malverns said some hill walkers were moaning about ppgs yesterday,turns out out it wasnt mike who flew over the hills it was us at powick,we spent to much time flying local well i did,we will have to be carefull.so we should take off fly away and not buzz around local. even if we are over the 500ft rule the motors still make a fair noise to people in their gardens,,come back and cut motors around 1000 to keep local villagers happy.funny how all the paraglider pilots in the feild looked at me lol.

paramotormike Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for the heads up Dan. I was over 2500 ft for almost the whole trip, so as Jock said it was not I. Good idea to keep the flying around Powick to a min. Cheers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 The elderly couple were from callow.none of us flew over callow low.The pgs on the hill said it was just genral banter as the elderly couple said i wish them ones flying over callow were as quite as you lot on the hill.its not as we use powick a lot.good job we have different sites to fly from,wonder if they moan about the raf when they blast past callow,one of the pg xc flyers had motorcycle heated gloves that he uses on long xc flights,he dont get cold hands no more at height £100 but worth it by the look of it,may get some after my fingers were numb the other day.

peter_6095 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Great shot of the Malverns. Talking of the free-flying crew, here's a shot of them I took last year. I couldn't hear them muttering (though to be fair my engine is quite loud so they would have to be really shouting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
