South Meets Midlands - Friday 23 May - Stoney Cove

[hogen-deifar]

I'm planning on going to Stoney on Friday 23 May for a bimble as practice for my June Farnes trip. Steve S has kindly agreed to hold my hand (the fool!!!) for the time and has promised to take me round the sites of Stoney!

Would anyone else care to join us? It's a free for all, so please come along and say hi! It's the Friday of the Whitsun Bank holiday (is it still called that or am I showing my age???) weekend.

Nah, done gliding a few times. It's nice, did it over the black mountains in Wales and it was brilliant. But although I enjoyed it and got to do some fun stuff like a loop the loop and fly by, it wasn't something that had me hooked! Though the loop the loop was amazing, spiralling up to get the height, then nearly vertical drop to get the speed to get back up and over! Awesome! First real experience of G-force. Think I was the only one not to throw up! It's a lovely experience, though really recommend it!

Hmmm? Tempting. Our club gets back from salty seadog diving from the previous weekend (kit rinse opportunity!), and I could do with a day off work..... hmmmm..... I'll get back to you on that one!

Jay,

I thought the planning authority was in principle against diving in Stoney cove as it was 'dangerous'.

Must have cost u a lot of serious concessions
