A good thermal soaring day once again with mainly blue thermal tops to around 3000m . More wind than the last days and more chance of being pushed to the south of the Avila valley and difficulty in keeping N after Avila.
Another exceptional day yesterday with top flight to Acrones landing field for Andy. Joe back at windmills and Duncan and Dennis in the Avila Valley. Not so classic as the previous day, not flying in the convergence , but with thermal tops not much higher than 3000m making it easier in the Notam section.
Once again on the hill at PN but with a little more NW than yesterday and the convergence will be back on the hills after Avila. Tbhis means it won’t be so easy to get over 100km as the easy flying goes through the airspace. However, another great day! Here are a few maps, but […]
Great day again yesterday, with Joe doubling his PB of yesterday with a massive 150km. Duncan more than tripled his PB with a flight of 85km.
Looking potentially very good with SW convergence. Thermal tops c 2800 rising to 3000m .Convergence along south side of Sierra de Avila.
Difficult to predict how today will pan out. Far more unsettled with a frontal system moving through but mainly effecting the north of Spain. Far more unsettled in the E and N, but we may catch enough instability for some showers. Winds a little stronger than the last few days , more westerly and likely […]
An interesting flight yesterday for Andy, following the convergence as predicted running more north from Muñogalindo towards the North. Being Sunday, and our arrival of new clients, Andy flew back again appox 20km of wind towards the Avila valley . Around 5 hours and 100km and back in time for Supper.
A north west with distance convergence formations along the main ridge and probably to the north side of the Avila valley. Should be comfortable on the ridge and a good opportunity for flights to Avila and possibly beyond today.
Today with have the Liga Centro visiting us. This morning at 8 am clear skies but low level mist forming around that time which I imagine will burn off before 11 am. Here are a few maps, which amongst others we will discuss at briefing. Essential a decent XC day, with OK climbs, probably not […]
Forecast for today Friday the 3rd of June. Essentially light winds from the west and decent climbs to over 3000m but with cloud building later in the afternoon at around 2800m. A certain level of instability and some congestus formation likely, but in our area initially unlikely to storm, though possibly some showers more to […]
