Hi all 

Has anyone been flying this summer? its been very quiet on the email list. 

I'm very pleased to say that I have just completed my restricted endorsement 
for powered hang glider, down in Cornwall with Graham Phipps, a great tutor, 
and very generous chap. In fact it was through this email board that Nigel 
Murphy sold me his Rio and Booster kit, a great combination, thanks for 
that. I would now love to go flying in the local area but at the moment (for 
the next 13 flights at least) I officially need the presence of a power 
coach. What's your favourite beer, Nick? I guess you are the man I have to 
be nice to. 

What is the situation with managing suitable sites in the area? how many 
other power pilots are there locally, and is there a club to cover their 
needs. Does chilternflyers manage sites other than their one field? Should I 
start negotations with local farmers? Swindon (where I live) is broadly 
covered by tvhgc, but they don't list any power sites at all, as they are a 
hill club. I just wonder if its worth setting up a club (or sub-club) to 
help with powered pilots in the area, or if that has already been done. 

Thanks for your time, it would be good to get airborne again. 

If you're interested I've put some photos of my flights around cornwall on 
the web, (you're welcome to add them to the chilternflyers blog page if you 
like)
