WNW, 15 -20km/hr. Reasonable XC potential

The depression continues to move very slowly across the UK.  W flow in altitude contines here as it has done for some time now.  Early morning Stratocumulus which should break down by midday with mainly blue thermals later in the afternoon.  Bear in mind tha this extra cloud cover during the morning will give us a slightly later thermal start.

Skew T 15.00

Time/conditions to Avila

Three day

Posibilities

Providing we can take off safely and the wind strengh stays withing that forecast above then we can certainly consider a goal flight to Avila.  Winds are likely to be uncomfortably strong in the Avila Valley which may make us decide to stay in the Corneja Valley.  The instability will make flying around in the flats reasonably easy and the direction(more N compared to previous days) will mean that it should be very easy to sustain on the mountain.

Tomorrow offers a better Open Distance XC day with convergence in the flatlands, higher base, Cu and less wind (and better direction for Open XC).  Saturday similar, but a bit more breezy.

4.40PM

Some nice flying around the valley.  We decided not to got for the pass.

Some reaonable evening flying done too.
