I am away last week in March..  ..

So if its before easter, it would have to be in next two weekends for me.. 9/10 16/17 ..  could also do the Sun the 31st

I had a look today at the Knock, the hill behind the Crieff Hydro. It would make a great flying site but it is a council owned nature reserve and is very busy with dog walkers and visitors to the hotel.

Dates wise, I can do the 16th or 17th or the 23rd.

Jumpy07

Can we firm this up ?

Suggest date that seems to suit most - Sat or Sun 17/18th March ?

Option meet at Aberfoyle / Dukes Pass , say 11am ?

Unless anyone has any other suggestions for a venue ?

Location is fine by us and either date suits us. I will speak to the others - I know one is on holiday that day so it will most likely be two of us unless my hospital appointment comes through before then (unlikely!)
Caput Inter Nubilia Condo (Virgil)

Google it !!

Can't manage 17/18 March, but don't change just to suit me.

Happy with Crief...  lot nearer me ..  :D

Duke's Pass near Aberfoyle would also be a great place..

Great idea. I live about 5 mins from there so thats good for me. Its a lovely place to fly, nothing in the way, great scenery!

I fly a Ritewing Zephyr 2.

If you can get yourself to either Inverkeithing or Stirling I can pick you up on the way.

Guys i know a fairly good spot up the Dukes Pass. I have flown my Z2 there a few times. There is a car park aswell next to where i fly from. You can see it in my video on youtube. Just to give you an idea.

That would be great thanks, I'll be easy to spot I'll be the one with a TBS discovery strapped on my back!!

I'll let you know a couple days before hand as at the moment I'm due back offshore on the 18th but that could change either way so hopefully it'll stick to the 18th or later then I'll come but if it gets brought forward then I'm out, but as I said i'll let you know as soon as I can.
