About Flying Chick

Flying Chick: North West England, United Kingdom; My claim to fame: I danced with Robert Redford in 1986 at a charity fund raising event in Las Vegas. I'm a bit of an action woman into power kite boarding with my 12 year old son who's golf mad and really good at it. I adore my family, I admire and respect my friends. I love skiing but still think I need more instruction, I go to the Alps every year though. My philosophy on life: Give and you shall receive.

MY WOOD-BURNER

Can't live without my wood-burner, home is just the best place and there's an outback woman in me I guess. So girls my secret to getting a strong upper body for down-hilling. Spilt logs with a massive axe for a half hour if you're not sweating like a wild hog, you're not working hard enough and I'm not talking tiny logs like in the pic.
