Would like to know if an HG observer is going/ willing to go Woodstock?
Also considering Pulpit if I can get out by 10am + getting childcare. Bacil, or anyone else willing to observe me if I can get up there to Pulpit? May consider HR also...

Pulpit is looking better of the two, however, I'm going over to WS to check out primary LZ, and maybe if it looks good enough around 6pm or 7p, get a flight off, i.e.,if observer present. ETA 4pm Just don't have two days to burn, or pet sitter right now to make it to Pulpit.

The site guide says Lynn Fishburn is the landowner. Is that current, Do we have a phone. # for her? I could call in the a.m..

Currently forecast at WS show WNW 14 mph at launch til 4pm, backing down after that. Winds aloft to 48k are relatively consistant between 17-20 knts. Looks similar to the last time I got a good flight there. Winds at Pulpit forecast West with same numbers. Also good. Both sites could get nice glass-...

I think I will lean toward WS, for the sake of time.

I would be interested in either place. Prefer WS as it is closer, but will see where others want to go. Would be great to get another, maybe longer, soaring flight ...

Sweet. Is that a GoPro that you have?

Awsome get-together, and fireworks! So great to see so many pilots and finally meet more people, whom I've only seen on the forum. I was glad to see that my son had a good time. Forgive me, but there was a family there also, and I'm going to take a crack at the names, but I may have remembered incor...

Epic Party... Awesome!

Will be arriving around 4pm. Had to work this morning. Hope to get an evening flight in. Hope the 4:30 launch rule isn't written in stone.. Looking forward to seeing everybody and fireworks. My son will be with me.

Welcome Jeremy! Are you living in the area now, or just visiting? If you have moved to the area, are willing and you have the time, I hope you will eventually consider being an observer for the up and coming H-2s. Wish I were going to be around longer, but maybe I'll get to meet you before I move to...

It was a beautiful June 2nd afternoon... Winds coming in strong at first but backed down after 6pm. Gary S., Bacil, Bruce, Shawn, Jon, John M. and I showed up. Bruce brought his wife Rita and son. Gary brought his friend Eric, who is familiar with sailing and curious about flying. Several pilots lau...

From what I could gleen from the internet, looks to be none other than the famous Judy Leden. Filmed in Scottland.
It's kind of cool becuase I've just been reading her book "Flyin with Condors"...

If you haven't seen this commercial already, this full version is real hoot. Watch it all the way through...

Interested...

How do I find the paragliding forum?

~Ann

Yep pretty overgrown. Went over to see if I could clear some brush, but I just didn't have the right tools. Need a weed wacker or machete for the smaller stuff. But the 'little' trees at the bottom of the slot have gotten at least a foot taller since April: most of this foliage, but it might be one ...

FB is not my go-to site for local flying info. Doesn't it make more sense to just keep club stuff on the club site? This seems like a no brainer. IMO the best way to connect club with face book, would just to make CHGPA a group that you can 'join': showing support, rather than connecting club events...

Cool! Sounds so fun. Glad you had a good time.

Just wondering how the flying went? It actually cleared off after 12:30pm and stayed sunny and breezy for the rest of the day here in H'burg.
