No the best day for XC paragliding. We have a trough over central spain and th super level instability could lead to some problems of towering clouds , rain and even storms. The south wind won’t help us as we will have to wait for it to come on at PN or go to our […]
Clouds at potentially near 4000m, winds light from SW to NW. Excellent thermal quality. What could go wrong! This is an ideal day for going over the pass and beyond Avila, though later in the day and along the track after Avila it may go more north. Excellent opportunity for 100km. 1500 What Happened. Great […]
Light E with blue thermals to 3100m Better wind forecast today for paragliding. A marked inversion at 3100, but heating to 30 degrees may give us some cumulus (potentially towering). We can wait a little today for better thermic conditions as there is less risk of strong winds. Very unstable with rain and storms […]
Not as strong at suspected, and very light at take off at 8.30 am. Skew T is showing light, but local a bit stronger from the NE. Good quality thermals, with aybe an inversion early on around 2500m, but later going over 3000m. A trough in the Pyrenees, but that instability won’t affect us. […]
It should be a good day with much less chance of overdevelopment (which of course never happened yesterday). Winds mainly N or NE in the convective layer and more NW around base and above. Winds likely to get stronger and more East at the end of the day. A potentially good day to repeat Bernt´s […]
Light north wind with perhaps NNW in the Avila Valley and NNE in our region will make it easier flying towards the Barco direction. Instability still persists, but less than yesterday. A very good XC day with high potential if the towering cumulus stays away or we can fly to a region with less problems […]
Higher temperatures today and the upper level trough has moved more to the East. Still chance of some overdevelopment , but hopefully we can get going earlier from Peña Negra. SE flow at take off level but will go NE. What happened. Great climbs from take off and we moved quickly NE to get […]
Ayer se nos fue un amigo. De repente, sin avisar. Discretamente… como hacía él las cosas. Gracias por tu sencillez, tu amabilidad y tu permanente sonrisa. Te vamos a echar mucho de menos. We lost a friend yesterday. He went suddenly, without warning. With no fuss…as he normally did things. Thank you for your […]
A light south wind and high instability. A higher chance of storms today with an upper level trough having passed , but still near, overnight. Our best opportunity is to go to Chia once again early, even though I believe it will come onto PN. In this way we can get going and away from […]
Certainly a better forecast as far as wind is concerned with a light SW flow which would give us good convergence in the Avila Valley . However, upper level instability is going to make things a bit too exciting perhaps as along that convergence is where we will see the quickest and biggest cumulus and […]
