Tandem Greg is launching a new book - the Best Flying Sites of the ALPS. He's also going to tell us all about mountain flying. If he's not said it all already I'll finish with a mountainous version of parts of the thermalling workshop we've done previously, but from a Himalayan headbangers perspective.
It promises to be a good one, CU there.
