Hi Jared

I've just been looking at skyads.co.uk and there is a Charly Reserve (120kg) advertised for sale.  Thought it might be of interest to you....

Oh that's it, you were asking about a reserve weren't you,do you receive Skywings? If so look through paragliders for sale and even though they are selling everything as a package you may be able to make an offer on just the reserve.Secondly try Steve Millson he is a guy well in the know and also has second hand reserves for sale(not always but worth a try).You could also try Skyads.com or .co.uk not sure :?,or Mid Wales Paragliding Centre(www.mwpgc.co.uk),or northernparagliding.co.uk they all stock a limited amount of second and kit.Have you checked Buy and Sell on this website under Forums yet.I had mine from Steve Millson.If you are in any doubt as to what to buy Nick Roberts will give you excellnt advice and so will Steve Millson.

Happy hunting Andy

That's another reason why I hired him, because he'd had a few divorces of his own which made him a suitable candidate with his experience.Yeah one of those posh cars was probably my ex-father-in-laws,felt like blowing it up a few times :-D

It was a shame about Huw, there's a few stories I could tell you about him - bit of a womaniser from what I hear!!! I've heard of Avery Naylor, they're the Solicitors on Walters Road in Swansea with the Bentley's and Jaguars etc... parked outside  :x
Still living and working in Neath @ the mo. It's good coz it's quite central to all of the sites  :-)

Of course, you're based in Neath aren't you, yes it was Huw Lewis he owned the farm just below Gareth Pawan.He represented me extremely well despite the time scale not showing it, he was the only solicitor I could afford, whereas my ex-wifes father hired the best divorce solitors in SWWales, have you heard of Avery Naylor from Swansea, he had loads of money.

Lol, nightmare - I reckon your experiences (from what you told me on the hill the other month) are just a tad worse than mine! Your Solicitor wouldn't happen to be Huw Lewis?

My decree absolute is finally due through the letter-box on Monday next week, it's only taken 3yrs 9mths, she put my solicitor in his grave, he died the week before last, honestly,no word of a lie.My ex-wife put all my clothes in a bin liner and asked for the bags back the bitch. :lol:

lol! She took everything. I imagine that if she had a spare bin bag, she wouldn't let me use it as a reserve, instead she'd probably put it over my head and...... I'll say no more...  :|

Couldn't your ex-wife supply you with a black bin liner, or did she take those aswell  :-D

Hi all,
       I was wondering if anyone had a reserve to sell. A reserve that is good for an all-up weight of approx 115kg is ideal.
Must be in good condition and reasonably priced, I don't have the money to buy everything new but I also don't want to economise too much!
Jared
