Our last day for the DSC was a little frustrating in that the winds was a little variable and dust devil prone till later afternoon.  Most of  our pilots eventually flew, most doing nice circuits of the valley, with Flo going to Avila and Richard about 35km to the North. The Geneva group who got […]

DSC club member and with us for  two weeks.  We also had a great tandem XC together.

Looking like an excellent day if we believe the RASP reports.  Excellent climbs and much reduced Cu, though still likely to get tall along the convergence which  will  run from Muñogalindo to the NE in a typical way.  Wind  at 9am 14km/hr SE, but likely to come onto PN.  A  capping inversion to keep the […]

Early hight vertical development made most of us decide to land when conditions got rather strong. However, Florence moved to the north and did the best flight staying away from the overdevelopment in our valley and the mountains

Potentially a very good day with good quality climbs, some Cu, but capped by an inversion so Cu tops should not go much higher than 4000m.  A classic convergence line swinging to NE of Avila from the Sierra de Avila , so potentially a 100km + day, however, some larger build ups may happen along […]

Yesterday just a shortish flight from Richard at Lastra…conditions very poor (crossed and variable winds) and an evening flight at PN after the storms had decayed.

A day with good XC potential if things do not get out of hand.  A nice convergence line leading NE after the pass, a line we have had much this year and given us many bps.  The problem may be the build up of  stacked Cu and congestus and  possibly Cbs.  However the CAPE seems […]

Excellent condition yesterday with climbs to 3000m with many in Barco and  Steve and Chris easily returning.  I flew the tandem with Geoff to Barco.  Nice evening conditions, but the beginnings of large stacked Cu.
