Tim Donald Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Does anybody fly in the North Lakes / Penrith area? I can't find any active clubs and so far I've only met one person slope soaring over at Lowca on the coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Donald Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thanks Alan, yes I had seen that one but could not find any further information (a web site or facebook page etc.) so assumed they are not very active anymore. Anyway I have sent an email to the secretary asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Probably best not to assume anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Donald Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thanks Steve. I got an email from the Eden club, there are about 40 members who regularly fly so I’m going to go and see them. I’m surprised there is no web site but maybe they like it that way (or maybe nobody can be bothered building one!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 There used to be a group that flew at Bewaldeth a couple of miles north of Bassenthwaite just of the A591. IIRC David Ashby was trying to make contact with them a 4 or 5 years ago, dunno if he succeeded. PS - Just found the thread started by David. The link i provided is now dead. The phone number Percy gave may no longer be relevant. Edited By PatMc on 08/11/2019 21:17:58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Donald Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Cheers Pat. I can probably find out if people still fly at Bewaldeth as I know the chap that runs the paragliding school there. I will ask him. I have been there quite a few times in the last couple of years and not seen anybody myself but he is there all the time so would have a better idea.

Alan Jarvis Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi Tim The North Lakes Soaring Club is active at Bewaldeth and I am a member. Not sure I can put the Secretary's details on here but if you PM me I will put you in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
