I hereby DARE Steve Holland to change his face book photo using the Youtube still shown.
Just think------   eh Steve.


Perhaps we could all be pondering a compilation of our "BEST MOMENTS OF 2019",
THAT way we get a broad view of whats important for you to share.
Does it HAVE to be only Hovercraft? 

Well that's a Christmas Cracker isn't it?! A great mixture of Flint-craziness, stunning scenery and weather and an illustration of the magic of Hovercrafting.
Can't wait to get back on the water.
Great work Nick

Excellent bit of Christmas Day viewing.
Thanks Nick.

Brilliant. 

As promised, (before Christmas) HERE is
"To Plonkerton and Beyond" (The block buster.)
Its a long one, but DOES have an intermission.
Thanks to all who had the confidence to STILL COME!!!!
even when the weather forecast was SOOooooo bad.


We have special "guest artists" (WON)
Writing, singing and playing who have kindly given permission to publish.
Please note there has been NO TOUCHING UP of the skies.
They REALLY were that colour.
If you weren't THERE, then bear it in mind when we try again to repeat
"The Hover Week GOLD STANDARD!"

Returning from Plonkerton 
after 185 miles cruising
WHAT a time we had.
Arriving in forecasted 40 MPH horizontal rain on first day---
Middle few days were LOW winds if a little overcast at times---
Ending the holiday in THE Finest days cruising pictured here
with ULTRA low warm winds.
In the words of the yorkshire bard---
"We Wuz There!"
Vid ASAP!
"To Plonkerton, and Beyond" 

 


This is my favourite picture I've ever taken of Sparkle.
This day SHE DID!

Nick
That's a cracking pic of you and Sparkle.
You should get that framed and maybe hang it on the wall.

Sparkle with chuffed owner, A VERY RARE picture indeed.!

My view on perhaps GLENEIG bay 

My (oh my) WHAT a superb hovering week THAT was.
Hissing sid was a stimulating moment for me as he was NOT a happy bunny as i reached out to
steady myself against HIS warming rock 
Male Viper apparently. You have to search to actually SEE his head and eyes.

He NEVER took his eyes off me watching every move I made ---which understandably were all verrrrrry sloooow!
This occured a short while before the "last of the Summer whine" photo seen earlier!
He struck out towards me with a HISS! (short by about 10 inches)
OH such a naughty word shot out.

Shame, it would be nice to see it out with the others. 5 mins isn't really enough to figure out what's happening. .

No, I only used it for about 5 minutes to pop across the loch to see Kim & Nick.  Working most of the week and wasn't well on Friday.  TS3 needs some airhole adjustment as since fitting the divider skirt I'm getting spray over the front.  I managed 27mph down wind without ploughing and took it to 26 in to the wind, so divider is stopping the ball bang into the handlebar stem but now I'm getting a salt water shower.  I'll sort it when I can be bothered, but so little interest in flying it.

Any pics or video of the TS3? How is it running?

Absolutely cracking pictures from the hover in ! Sadly looking a bit windy down here for this weekend, but maybe it'll settle down. I'll be needing a hover-fix!
