Hi Gillian,
Really enjoyed the harness setting podcast – but unable to play the second session on variations – just says ‘file not found’. Thought you’d like to know….
Have read Dennis’s many articles with interest and, since I am about to retire from the RAF, hope to have more time for paragliding – and maybe get a visit arranged out to your Flying Lodge in 2010.
Happy New Year to you both.
Phil
Hi Phil,
Thanks so much for letting me know about the second podcast. Hopefully, that should be working ok now.
We’re really pleased you enjoyed the first podcast and Dennis’ articles. It would be great if you came out to visit in 2010, we will look forward to it.
Wishing you a Very Happy New Year too!
Managed to get it this time – thanks. Really informative. Looking forward to the next session on wings – any time soon?
Great! good to know it’s all working. Hopefully within the week we’ll have the next one ready!
Hi.
Interesting & enjoyed listening to your Podcasts, and some good tips.
