LAT - 10th & 11th May 2008
Friday, 09 May 2008

Looks like the weather may well be reasonable this weekend with the chance of a bit of rain, but this should not spoil things too much.
 
The problem is the direction, basically east for both days, a little bit lighter on Saturday than Sunday.
 
TVHGC - has nothing for East.
 
Pandy - SHUT for lambing.
 
Blorenge - Will take an east but is a bit shallow in this direction but should be OK as it is a high site.
 
Malverns - You need to be CP + 15hrs and have a helmet sticker from the Malvern Club

Mercury - If you live to the east of the TVHGC region this is probably a reasonable bet.
If there is no bottom landing available this site reverts to CP + 10hrs, not sure if there is a way of checking this beforehand? ( select "read more" for more info)

Check the actual wind direction on the day and make your choice from there.
 
Cheers

Top Up Insurance required to fly Milk Hill and MHWH
Wednesday, 30 April 2008

IMPORTANT – MILK HILL AND MILK HILL WHITE HORSE

Milk Hill and Milk Hill White Horse are closed as flying sites from 30th April 2008 Unless you have an additional top up insurance card from the bhpa..

Natural England for the 2008 licence require pilots to have £5 million Public Liability insurance cover; through BHPA we each have £2 million.

a list of names with this top up insurance will be published on the club website. the list is available here

Please do not fly these sites without appropriate insurance cover - doing so will jeopardise all flying on Natural England sites.
