Looking for local pilots to fly with.

2008-10-03T16:49:44Z

Hi!

I’m a French student just arrived in Edinburgh. I practice paragliding
for about 4 years. I have the autonomous pilot's licence from the Free
Fly French Federation. I brought all my materials with me. I’m looking
for local pilots to fly with and shared petrol expenses because I
don’t have my own car here. As a student I have a lot of free time so

Apparently the French say "Champagne should be drunk straight from a beautiful lady's slipper", but failing that you could share a "boot full of beer" with Cliff.
No offence Cliff, but somehow it doesn't have the same appeal.
I can offer a loan of a Y bridle, but that may be of little use to you, as all my kit is in Aberdeen.

For information, we've been trying out a new Google Group so that pilots
in the Highlands can keep in touch with each other, meet up to fly and
bitch about the weather.

Its open to anyone who wishes to join:

Tinto BBQ - Scottish Nationals Round this weekend

2008-09-17T23:16:53Z

On behalf of George - Early Warning !
This weekend will be the rescheduled date for the LLSC round of the Nationals. The forecast is good for flying at Tinto both Saturday and Sunday. This is a great opportunity for everyone who has done less flying than they'd have liked during our unusual summer, to get some good flying before it becomes seriously autumn. Especially our new members who haven;t had much chance to meet up with everyone.

Loan of a bridle

2008-08-29T20:30:19Z

Help needed please.
Anyone going to the Borders round this weekend and has a spare Y-bridle I
can borrow.
I bought a new harness which was delivered yesterday but without the bridle.
Therefore I am looking to borrow one for this weekend so I can connect my
front mounted reserve.
If you can help I would be very grateful and I'll have a boot full of beer

Hi All,
Tommy asked me to provide directions for those who require them. There is a better copy as a pdf attachment for printing.
Just a reminder -
Make sure you have sufficient Fuel, Food, alcohol and Water for the weekend.
There is water available from the river but the taste can be variable. It would be better to bring your own.

Quick message to confirm that this weekend WILL be a Nationals round weekend.
It won't be in the Highlands for obvious weather reasons but as its looking nicer down South, we have rescheduled the Borders round.

USA HG pilot looking for Info

2008-08-19T21:09:31Z

Hi all.

I live near Binghamton New York. My dad was born and raised in
Kilmarnock.
I have lots of relatives that I'd like to visit ... maybe next year.

I wondered if doing some Scottish flying might be at all possible?
... what the rules might be? ... getting a wing to fly?

Any information you can provide would be great!
