nice :D

@JWGC2005 Yes, we tried very hard to identify the folk involved, but 2005 is long while ago, and as long as they get the message, all is well; and they are welcome back.
Give me a call at the club 01592-840-543, or payphone, but with 243 at the end.
Very much not a witch-hunt, but very strong advice to pilots flying from this site: it is a sucker hole and in the past we had lots of serious crashes in the area.
Hence my response, give me a call.

Epic video guys, doesnt ever get boring. Used it to gather a bit of gliding interest in my company!

@JWGC2005 that explains it and I'm clearly wrong. I was focused on the video claiming to be arriving at Portmoak which it never quite reaches. It's essentially an approach down the eastern end of the Lomond Hills which I'm not familiar with. When was this taken?

@michool hello sweetypie, i was flying the glider filming this, i think i know where i was. unfounded comment? quite. maybe have a closer look at google maps?? im spent. how was it for you? pass me a cigarette...
-
@pikherk I spent 2.5 years flying from Portmoak. If you look at Loch Leven on Google Maps you'll find it's easy larger than the tiny lake in the video and completely surrounded by cereal fields not arboreal forests and scrubland. Quite apart from the fact that Portmoak looks nothing like the airfield in the video. But then this is the Internet and unfounded opinion is the norm.

@michool It definitely is!

@michool - it is Portmoak. The lake is not Loch Leven, it is a small lake on the south-east side of the Bishop ridge (this run is only possible in a south-easterly which the locals claim is an 'unsoarable' wind direction - not true, there is a small ridge that works). As for @pikherk making 'unfounded' opinion - you could not be further from the truth if you tried... Oh and you can climb away and do it again...and again...and again

@JWGC2005 - Correct location - this ridge is usually unsoarable in a south-east wind, except in exceptional conditions. Locally, there is a nearby ridge, with the Pylons; distant we have the Pentland Hills, but the wave we experience has been set-up thousands of miles before. In a matter of minutes the conditions change .
My statement stands, at the time the CFI at the SGU instructed me to ban the pilot in this glider from flying from Portmoak.

@chrisrobsoar - so did you ban them?
JWGC2005 7 months ago
The flight was from Portmoak, he does not fly from here anymore, lifetime ban.

I think you are mixing me up with someone else - I have never been banned from Portmoak (or anywhere for that matter....)
