Hi dudes,
Well said Tommy. I've just got back from holiday in France, Hang Gliding in the Alps. Now they have some hills! Irish Tom and I found a couple of corkers, (and hills -fnarr fnarr). How does this sound? 4 miles long, sweeping bends and one hairpin. Smooth tarmac, safe run offs. 1380M - (yes, that's METRES not feet) vertical height. I have the location safe, and it's by a good free flying site and town too.
So, what's happened in old Blighty while I was away? Loads by the look of things, but then again not much either! I started luging with a skateboard and a broomhandle. We ran some hills and had a laugh. There was nothing formal about it and we didn't need it. We went to Gursdon and had a laugh there, we went to Aviemore and were blown away by that. It was cool.
It was cool because it was rare, underground, legally dodgy (how we did it anyway) but most of all because there was no 'officialness'. OK, Ding has been running SSSprint for ages, but we didn't know about that - and they keep themselves to themselves. They don't want to rule the world. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm in this for a laugh, fun - remember that?
If you run a SSSprint event, I'll come and play. If you run a BSGA event, I'll be there. Same goes for IGSA, BGA or whoever. I don't care, as long as I can make it I'll be there. I know one thing though, it would be much better if all the 'organisers' could agree to put their resources together. A single body would have more clout and save me all the different membership fees. Think about it eh?
Cheers, MC.
One more thing, it's my Dad's birthday on Sunday so I won't see you at Gursdon. I'll try and make the next one.
