I've just asked a local if someone can take me tandem in Hong Kong and it looks pretty good, so when i'm flying that endless thermal and you're all scratching aboot or ttb off Myreton i'd just like to say:- "get it up ye"! Especially Richard.

Sponsored by - you guessed it The Lomond Country Inn (Purveyors of fine Ale, food and accomodation! This competition is being organised by the Ochils Paragliding Club, Fraser Marwick and Terry Stubbs (Organisers and Sponsorship liaison) and Dave Thomson (XC League coordinator). The purpose of this challenge (and it is a challenge) to encourage BHPA XC pilots to come and fly from Bishops Hill on a cross country with the minimal distance requirement of crossing the Firth of Tay on what is a relatively unknown XC route by paraglider. This flight has the potential to be, not only a big flight, but an interesting and varied one. The Tay crossing has already been done twice last year by paraglider with one flight ending at Glamis.
The rules are simple...
The flight can take place between the 1st of March and the last day of October 2009.
All flights have to be from Bishops Hill (Bishops Hill only).
The task will be an open XC and to qualify you must cross the Firth of Tay - the winner will be the one who crosses the Tay and then flies the furthest... simple!
All classes of paraglider are eligible.
The flight has to be submitted to the XC League for validation.
There is no entry fee.
The winner will recieve Dinner, Bed and Breakfast for 2 at the Lomond on a date of your choosing (subject to availability). If no one crosses the Tay by paraglider the prize will continue onto the following year! Have big fun in the sky and good luck!
Hard to call tomorrow, but I think the wind direction looks wrong for Myreton so I have not booked the 4*4. And it is going to be sooo cold.
