norbertflyer Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yes Jock, let us know when the grass is cut, I've been missing my Powick 'fixes'! Luckily my farmer cut my take off field for me last Friday, so been enjoying the thermals the last couple of days. Big clouds yesterday evening had to be avoided over Kiddy yesterday.

Agreed on the lift! I was bouncing off my 1,000ft GPS warning of the 65FL above me, on Monday. Dark clouds still here now, so will probably give it a miss today. Best ever May flying for me. Much better than 2011. Good luck with the trike launches! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready to go .... Looks like the weekends blown out in Somerset. Friday might be OK if the grass is cut. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Good news on the repairs Carl. Hope you get some airtime soon. Worth contacting the Devon and Somerset Condors paragliding club for a visitor fly of one of their PG sites. Coastals sites are best with a bit of wind. Bossington hill is a favourite of mine.

norbertflyer Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 That looks smart now Carl, all ready to go. I wish my back lawn looked that neat! Have a good w/e. Doubt there will be much flying up here over the w/e. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily my farmer cut my take off field for me last Friday, so been enjoying the thermals the last couple of days. Big clouds yesterday evening had to be avoided over Kiddy yesterday.Richard After Sean being ill on Friday my trip to castle morton was put off ... Decided to see if I could have a fly local from a car boot site in Romsley After asking the farmer he agreed to me using a field a mile up the rd. ( Im a friend of his son) He also added that he lets a paramotor pilot fly from there. We got talking to find out it was Richard. I hope that's ok with you Richard ? I did not fly local to the farm and kept height at all times. Anyway I had two 1 hr flights and loved it, flew with music for the 1st time too. Great day flying on my own, looking forward to bumping in to Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Carl, I'm trying to keep that site for my local paramotoring and it's proving to be quite difficult with two recent noise complaints. I do pay quite a bit of money to the farmer for it's use. I've only been on the site 4 months and I've already had to turn away local paramotor pilots Roy and Adam to try and keep it. If you could find another site local to you in Cannock, it would help my longevity of local flying from Clent since 1996. Cheers, Richard.
