goode400 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi all, On the 22nd of September I will be setting off on an unsupported flight from Santander in the North of Spain to Motril in the South to raise money for Save the Children. I would be grateful for any advice from those who have made unsupported multi stop flights. I also need advice about insurance for flying in Spain. Any help would be gratefully accepted. If you'd like to make a donation, the link is https://www.justgiving.com/vueloparalosninos Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dani Martinez would be an awesome place to stay a day away from the South Coast. NICE ONE BTW! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goode400 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hoorah! Wheels and handles fitted. Ready for those long walks from landing to petrol-station / bed / food! Getting excited now. I will be on the overnight ferry to Santander on Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me. If you haven't already, please do! Here's the link. Just a couple of quid would help towards my (admittedly ambitious) target of £5,000 for Save the Children. https://www.justgiving.com/vueloparalosninos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goode400 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 They sent me a vest to wear on my flight. It needed a bit of customization! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goode400 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Here's a little conundrum..... I'm in a small field and will need a reasonable bit of wind to be able to get out, however, I'm surrounded by mountains amongst which the same wind could be a real pain in the arse! Suggestions?

Guest Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Man up and get a light wind take off done :-) I hope it went well for you mate. I would love to have been with you. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goode400 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 You know that saying about being on the ground wishing you were in the air and vice versa? Well I had the vice versa today....mid afternoon on the Spanish plain near Segovia. Bucking bronco thermals! Flippin' scary! My fully loaded V5 weighs over 40 kg so I could have done with a bigger wing. Long takeoff runs! It's raining now and I'm stuck in a village in the middle of nowhere. Legs are killing me after one too many failed launches in ridiculously variable wind this morning. Ok. Moan over! Here's looking forward to a better day tomorrow.
