@Goair18 Things do get a little damp. Depends on how cold it is! The colder it is the drier things stay. Wear WARM gear in winter. I use several layers of technical clothes that skiers wear plus a flight suit. Sealskin gloves, windcheater for my face. :)
@Reechforthesky Ok thanks for your reply buddy, i only passed my EP August this year, im taking my CP end of November and iv just brought a brand new wing and was worried about the damage id do to it in the winter.
@Reechforthesky I think my instructor uses long mynd, im just sitting around at the mo, itching to fly, i cnt go now where as most sites are CP only. So i just go over the local park and do alot of GH!!! After GH ill be looking at my CP exam revision notes.
Reech, You are getting more and more like Jessie from the Fast Show - "This week I are mostly been Speedflying!" - Nice to see you joining the dark Side! Does your Ibex have the thin top lines? ATB Bill
Tis big fun. I had a demo Ibex a year and a bit ago. It took a year for me to find one at a reasonable price. Now I've got one I want to fly it all the time! Fantastic glider. It does have unsheathed upper lines. They were designed as alpine descent gliders but I think they found they flew way better than they expected!
Brilliant Reech, i live about 3 miles away from this superb hill. I did try paragliding in the summer, but my 51 year old arthritic ridden body wasn't having any of it.
I love your music choices!! .. keep flying buddie!!
doesnt your wing get wet?? iv heard ut streches your lines ect. Plus what sort a gear you wear in the winter.
