That is it for us at Flypiedrahita for 2017. Many thanks to all who visited us this year. We normally stop at this time of year as the chances of decent XCs is reduced. However, it does seem that things are getting even better this week with higher temps and still with light winds. […]
Opening Ceremony yesterday in Brasilia for the HG Worlds. Here are the British team sporting my T shirt design I did for them. Jenny the Team Manager also made one up for me with my name on the sleeve. I did make a minor HG Brit Team event about 30 years ago (Bleriot Cup) so […]
The Gin Wide Open is in Macedonia this year. The place of the next worlds. I was contacted to design a t shirt illustration by Toby and Brett who run the event and for whom I did last years design. I don’t know Macedonia, so just went for what I though a fun event should […]

Cross Country´s magazine Ed Ewing interviews Sir James Mallinson discussing Bir and flying in the Himalayas. My final bit of sketching before I get back to my day job later this week.
I am very happy to have my film selected for the Offical Selection at the Coupe Icare which starts this Thursday. From what I can see there are only two Brits who made the selection. The other is Philippe Dalton (who sounds suspiciously French, but lives in Bristol (so maybe a fellow Bristolian), but whose film […]
Day 1 – Sunday 30th June Day 1 of my annual pilgrimage visit to Piedrahita with flypiedrahita.com, for what will hope to be a fun week of cross country flying. It’s always a long day the first day, with an early start and a late evening flight. WE landed at 10pm, had dinner closer to […]
