Social contact

Hi - I'm a retired pensioner looking for intelligent chat. My interests are (non-active now) flying both gliding and powered, would love to try paragliding sometime.


I have a few medical problems ( who doesn't when retired).


Let's see who may be interested.

Welcome Hopefully, some other members from your neck of the woods will join you here I was given a flying lesson by my family for my birthday ... it was so much fun, although I did feel a bit queezy with all the bumps!

HI Sally - Powered flying has its advantages to get you from A-B but Gliding is much more enjoyable as you learn to read the weather . When soaring one uses the thermal up-currents and your flying skills to prolong your flight. Countryside views from the air can be fantastic.

Hi Sally - it has been some time since any communication between us, as yet I have no word from anyone - am I doing something wrong or not doing something ? I cannot believe that nobody from this area is on s.S. Your comments please Sally -- Francis

I would like to have a go at hang/paragliding as well but it seems that Ashford is a bit of a 'dead spot' for anything - most of all communicating !!!

I like to have a friendly conversation with others and can be quite humorous at times. I have family members in town and know some of the town history as I worked here for many years. In year 2000 I became a widower and retired soon after. I hope to hear from someone soon if you are interested.
