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 […]
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 […]
Less inverted today with greater potential than the last few days. However, we may start seeing large cloud build up later in the afternoon with some risk of Congestus development along the convergence which seems likely to set up along the Sierra de Avila. Once again probably an out and return day due to light […]
Not a disimilar day to yesterday, but with lighter wind and perhaps higher climbs. More scope for an interesting O& R such as Pass, Barco and back. Once again no rush to take off, but when conditions finally start it will be strong at take off again. Briefing around 11am
In general a NE flow, but in our valley NW lower down. Rather inverted early on and most climbs between 2200 and 2600m until late afternoon with perhaps some climbs to near 3000m on the mountain. Mainly blue , though we may see some Cu in the Avila valley and near the east side of […]
Wind is likely to come onto PN , but perhaps crossed. Wind is near limit of comfort for PG, but today we should certainly concentrate on getting in the air. Less chance of large Cu build ups, though some likely along parts of convergence (the typical SW pattern to day). Briefing around 10.45 with a […]
With a trough sitting over us we have some unstable conditions and variable winds, though mainly to the SW and on the strong side at times. Certainly not the best forecast due to potential vertical development of the Cu and some rain showers perhaps. Wind at take off early this morning now at 32km/hr….not normal […]
Wind patterns and convergence lines not dissimilar to previous days, though perhaps greater possibility of build up of large clouds and maybe more chance of wind on at PN. More detail at briefing.
Today we have similar conditions to yesterday, but ramped up in wind and strength and cloud. The wind strength will likely force us to use La Lastra as it is less likely to come onto PN. Very marked convergence lines to the north like yesterday. Likely congestus clouds forming late in the day with some […]
Not disimilar to yesterday but with stronger conditions and a higher base. an interesting convergence line running to the NNE after the Pass, but more defined than yesterday. Once again we would like very much for it to come onto PN. Higher climbs, and will be easier to go beyond 3000m earlier in the […]
