Without the need to go into too much detail, much of Spain, and particularly the central part, will be subject to severe storms once again. I think it unlikely we can even squeeze in a safe top to bottom. However, this does seem to be coming to and end and more hope for Friday!
Continuing very unstable with cooler air comming in at altitude making today very things very problematic. Wind at 6am is south at PN launch. This could be a difficult day even to get the limited amount of flying we had yesterday. We will leave at 10.30 and maybe have to go to La Lastra […]
Yesterday we were able to get some reasonable flying in for an hour before the large build up clouds and storms. Only Fredi ventured over the Pass to a very active Ambles Valley landing around the bend in the road.
Initially, looking at the sky this morning it seems much better. The wind at take off is zero so should be fine at PN. No need to go to La Lastra. However, although not in the most fierce area of storms today, we do have sufficient upper level instability to cause large congestus clouds and […]
Yesterday, despite the terrible forecast we were able to do a short local flight during the morning around 11.30am and a reasonable evening flight.
The next few days are looking very problematic for safe paragliding with high CAPE values which will trigger large Cbs along our favourite convergence routes. Conversely to what we often do we will have to look to fly in areas of the poorest thermals with an eye to the sky at all times.
whilst I was collecting from the airport, Stu, Ian, Fredi and Arvid had some great flying, Stu getting over the Pass and making a return from 40km. Fredi and Ian battled against the headwind to Avila , with Fredi making it back to near the Pass. Cb development late in day but we were able […]
This looks like a very good day for a circuit flight with light winds and the best conditions on the mountain and a tounge of convergence stretching to the NNE from the Pass. It looks like there maybe some big build up of large Cu to the south of the mountain. The risk of instability […]
A great week for our guests with multiple 100km + flights and also of course for the Spanish league with big tasks every day for the 7 days. Yesterday capped off the week with a valley circuit ranging between Villatro Pass, Barco, Tortoles and Puente de congest and N along the Salamanca road. light winds […]
Today we once again have excellent thermal XC conditions . The task for yesterdays league probably should have been set with todays weather where we have a more N ad even NE flow from Avila. Yesterday the N only really effected the lower level , the average in the boundary layer helping for a relatively […]
