I didnt come onto Peña Negra, and rejecting a turbulent early flight we did Salamanca and had some nice evening soaring at Chia for the last day of Malvern part 1.
A great day which started with a little spot landing comp on the first flight. The main flight I flew with John on the tandem. Easy climbs and we were soon at the pass in 5m/s climbs. Paul made it to near the Pass, but with his radio going out he did the O&R back […]
After an uneventfull morning flight our afternoon flight became quite exciting by the time we reached the corrals with much of the Ambles valley in shadow form big Cu formations. On tandem with Jim, we flew back to the NW, for perhaps 6km in strong lift, deciding to land N or Piedrahita as conditions were […]
Chris has been a regular client over the years, but it seems he has always been held back by the rest of the Gloster bunch (Dennis and Cliff). Today he majestically sailed over our heads (myself with Paul on tandem, John, Nigel and Ian) after we had bombed near the cementary at Casas del Puerto. […]
A very pleasant day with easy flying…..4 flights in all. The veil of alto status kept the conditions from overdeveloping, though a break of sunshine at the end of the day really switched things on giving climbs to around 2700m. We stayed local though a few of the group went to Casas del Puerto, with […]
A long time since we have had any of this stuff. No flying today
An airport run day for me today. Our first of two weeks with the mighty Malvern Club. A nice evening soar to start things off.
Colin Huges will be off tomorrow after a 6 week stay with us. It has been a tremendous 6 weeks, with very few unflyable days. Colin has made his PB on a number on a number of flights. He is aways first off and acts as wind dummy for the rest of the group, sometime […]
Anther nice day but with typically August condtions…….quite stable and mainly blue. We made our way to Barco, with Colin and Anthony dropping out before Aldeanueva. I bombed at Barco, some of the others crossing the river but getting little altitude on the other side. By this time the wind had changed to NW, so […]
We had an early take off as the wind was forecast to pick up. I flew a customer on the tandem and after getting some high climbs over Piedrahita had to get down before he was sick. With strongish NE wind comming through the flying was not so interesting. All landed and we went for […]
