The depression of the SW of Ireland is moving NE and the asssociate cold front passed us in the early hours of this morning.  High pressure is moving in and the current SW wind should moderte and move more the the N providing good paragliding conditions normally associated with this time of year  – rather than the rubbish we have been served up so far this week.

We will not be going to have a look early on as at the moment it is obvious that it is far too windy.  Perhaps by mid afternoon we will have conditions suitable for launching at Peña Negra (or more likely at the lower take off).  Clouds are on hill at the moment but will probably rise to 2500m later.

We will make a further reapraisal around 12.30pm.  Don´t despair!.  Looks like it may finally happen even though it may not look like it from the speed of the low Cu!

Thursday Midnight

3 Day

An evening XC jaunt

The wind did not abate till around 6pm, but with good thermals we had a go for the Pass and ken, Russell, Ken myself, Wallis and Dirk  went over succesfully – with the latter 2 at the bend in the road.  All very nice and mellow.  Hopefully tomorrow will now be a full day.
