Jumpmunki 0 #1 September 12, 2005 i would like to put a call out to the uk canopy pilots that hang around here, we have seen in the US the CPC develop to help amature swoopers develop experience. are there any pilots in the UK interested in launching a CPC "district" in the UK, OR developing a smaller similar friendly circuit? kind of a modern version old mens working club, but without the shit bands, cheap beer and bingo?

andyflylife 0 #3 September 14, 2005 Dont know exactly what you've got in mind, but it sounds a good idea to me... Anything to promote CP in a cool and safe way. Keep me posted. Blue ones. "swooper 24/7, 365!" ME on Myspace My Project playlist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garywainwright 0 #4 September 14, 2005 There were 2 years of tours organised by Chris Lynch and Al Macartney. I think they stopped because of pressure to have comps over water.http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #6 September 15, 2005 Last I heard there was difficulty in finding a DZ willing to go through the arse ache of getting planning consent for, digging and maintaining a pond big enough to meet requirements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpmunki 0 #8 September 17, 2005 defeats the object of having a regular UK based swoop meet, if i was going to travel abroad, i'd goto lillo or empuria... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
