Folks if someone is next out on Combe Gibbet from Monday onwards when it opens can you flip the sign round from CLOSE to OPEN. It needs some pliers.

RE: [TVHGC Members] February Social Meet - Swan Inn, Inkpen 4 Feb from 7:30pm

Just to clarify, Combe opens on Monday 2^nd Feb and the social meet is on Wednesday 4^th Feb from 7pm. Sorry for the confusion!

As Combe Gibbet opens for the season on 2 Feb (next Monday) I’d like to invite you all to glide down to the Swan Inn at Inkpen after your glorious day’s flying for a beer, a bite to eat and a pleasant chat about an exciting new competition that is just for us TVHGC members. The long-term forecast shows the wind in the right direction, but the temperature might not get above 0C!

We’re back at the Swan at Inkpen for the foreseeable future. For those that don’t know it here’s their website http://www.theswaninn-organics.co.uk/ and for satnav users head for RG17 9DX, 10 minutes or so south of Hungerford. Meet at the bar from 7pm, grab a drink and some grub and we’ll hopefully settle downstairs. If you’re coming by air it’s at waypoint TV44 below!

It has been suggested that we should have an in-house competition. So I’ve devised one! I’ll tell you all about it on the night and then it will be launched soon after. You’ll need a GPS to take part (and a para/hang glider…) so if your GPS is gathering dust, clean it up, charge the batteries and bring it along. I am far from being a GPS expert, but can get by with my Garmin 76CSx and the XCSoar software. Here’s a little teaser to get the juices flowing.

See you there

[TVHGC Members] Milk Hill 27 Jan

Congratulations to the majority who managed to abide by the rules at Milk Hill yesterday, enjoying some brisk conditions in a top-end wind that was on the northerly limit for that site. Hopefully the red ribbons who got blown over the fence in the bowl (where the wind is strongest…) learned that going backwards and getting dumped into a muddy field is not much fun! If you don’t understand why this happened then please get in touch via private message. However, if you do end up the wrong side of a fence PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB OVER IT. This has been clearly stated many times. Go to the gate and climb over at the hinge end if there is no open access to the field.

As seems to be the way of things recently, there always seems to be one person who cannot follow the rules. Landing in the middle of the cropped field in front of Milk Hill is NOT ACCEPTABLE. When conditions picked up everyone else managed to either slope land or bottom land in the acres of designated bottom landing sites. I’d be delighted to hear from the pilot concerned, but from my viewpoint his decision to avoid those and land in the middle of an obviously cropped field was indefensible and totally unacceptable.

Follow the rules or lose the sites. It’s that simple!

Apologies to Thee, our lovely social events organiser, but I thought I would steal her thunder slightly and give you some advance notice of social events that have been confirmed for the next few months. The reason I am doing this is that I promised some competition training sessions when I first introduced myself in my new TVHGC committee role as competitions person back in early December 2014 and I know that diaries fill up quickly. Put these dates in your diary – you're bound to learn something and they should be great fun events, not just for aspiring comp pilots, but for anyone who wants to get more out of their flying, which should be all of us.

We've moved the venue for social events back to the Swan Inn at Inkpen, RG17 9DX (a short glide from Combe Gibbet) http://www.theswaninn-organics.co.uk/ . Meet from 7pm for food and drinks at the bar, events kick off upstairs around 8pm and are normally finished by 10pm or so.

Mar 4 - We're incredibly lucky to have secured a world class pilot and speaker for our first event of the year. Toby Colombé is a world record breaking tandem pilot, World Cup competitor (he's competing now in Colombia – watch live here: https://airtribune.com/worlds2015/blog (you may need to copy and paste this link)), joint organiser and safety director of the Gin Wide Open, owner of Passion Paragliding, expert on paragliding safety etc etc. He is rarely in the UK as he guides pilots on XC and SIV in Morocco, Turkey and France with the few gaps filled with competitions worldwide. Toby will talk about a particular passion of his: "Skills required to fly safely & in thermic air". As he says, "I see so many pilots flying in more danger than they'll hopefully ever realise. It's not a scary talk, but a debunk on how to fly the latest EN B and EN C wings, including some video footage".

Apr 1 - Nev Almond still insists on flying one of those old-fashioned rigid hang glider things, but does so rather well. He's been doing it for more years than most and makes it look effortless. He does like to keep us floppies in our place by showing us how it should be done; last summer he eclipsed Wagga's and Al Wilson's brand new PG XC records by setting his own, flying over 300 kms and only stopping because the North Sea got in the way: http://www.xcmag.com/2014/08/almond-pastes-it-for-a-new-uk-hang-gliding-record/ Nev will be talking to us about "Kobo/XCSoar"; how to use the free XCSoar navigation software on budget Kobo e-readers, including a live replay of tricky bits of a real XC.

May 6 - Our own Chairman, Richard Bungay, needs no introduction. Suffice to say that his many successes in world-class competitions make him eminently well qualified to talk about "GPS use". This practical talk will provide essential information for anyone wishing to take part in competitions as well as for XC pilots. Nothing beats pressing the buttons so we plan to do a little ground-based mini task exercise, with the goal almost certainly being back at the bar. Bring your GPS!

Jun 3 - Various experts from the club plan to get together for a "Techie evening" to help advise on the best kit and how to use it. Bring your toys!

More exciting events to be notified.

Re: [TVHGC Members] Now Oxford want an RMZ...

Oxford, sorry London Oxford, has been angling for it's own class D for quite a while already with as yet no progress, so with RMZs being handed out like boiled sweets I'm not apprised they want a piece of the action.

Since there is not yet a planned size and shape for the RMZ it is hard to know how it will affect us. Oxford is 60km downwind of Milk Massif, so on a decent day with an SW breeze quite a large number of pilots might XC past it. Maybe dozens. If the RMZ closes off the corridor between Oxford and Benson that could cause problems - there is already a pinch point there, although Oxford doesn't currently cause problems since we are generally clear of it once we have gone between Brize and Benson (it is at Kidlington, somewhat further North). It could also be an issue in a Westerly from some Avon sites (Frocester).

[TVHGC Members] New PG event - Exclusive advance notice!

Due to the unprecedented number of TVHGC pilots who registered for this year’s Gin Wide Open (54!) and the fact that some have been unable to secure a place I have been given exclusive advance notice by Competition Director Brett Janaway of a second event to be held the week after the GWO. Here’s what he said:

Finally, for all those that failed to get into the GWO, I am about to announce a new event for the week after, same venue, staff etc. It will be slightly different in that it is not a competition as such and it will be limited to 40 persons, with a higher entry fee. But it will be hosted in a similar way to GWO, but with some additional big names passing on the knowledge. I'll do a mass email shortly, but you may want to pre-warn the club as with just 40 places, it will fill fast!

Brett is also organising the Nordic Open (yes, with our current weather UK counts as Nordic!) in Gemona two weeks after the Gin Wide Open: http://gemona-pgopen.com/

For other comps both abroad and in UK have a look at http://pgcomps.org.uk/

[TVHGC Members] Re calling hang glider pilots

Hi guys
I am currently part of a team of people nationally who would like to speak to hang glider pilots who have recently qualified or who are still training.
This would be a quick confidential telephone chat at your convince.
The purpose is for us to collect data to help resolve the drop out rate of pilots post CP
All I would require is a contact number for me to contact you or you can contact me
nickchitty@aol.com
Mobile 07557053157
Many thanks Nick Chitty
Chief coach Chiltern flyers

Re: [TVHGC Members] Now Oxford want an RMZ...

Both Brize and Oxford proposals are being responded by TVHGC in the controlled way we have done in the past using a pack of documentation for these situations in due course, this was discussed in our committee meeting last week. As I understand it Oxford plans won't make a significant difference to XCs whereas Brize definitely will.

We'll keep you posted.

Nik.

Since there is not yet a planned size and shape for the RMZ it is hard to know how it will affect us. Oxford is 60km downwind of Milk Massif, so on a decent day with an SW breeze quite a large number of pilots might XC past it. Maybe dozens. If the RMZ closes off the corridor between Oxford and Benson that could cause problems - there is already a pinch point there, although Oxford doesn't currently cause problems since we are generally clear of it once we have gone between Brize and Benson (it is at Kidlington, somewhat further North). It could also be an issue in a Westerly from some Avon sites (Frocester).
