Relative low pressure due to the heat low over the Peninsula, but in general good thermal  soaring conditions and the slightly more northern flow will make it less turbulent on the hill and give us a better evening flight.  Thermal conditions similar to yesterday but the wind being more N will probably keep us this […]

A cold front is passing through the north of Spain, but like the pattern which seems to have occurred all through last week, all the rain and storms should be limited to the N and the Pyrenees. Winds are SW but should come onto PN.  Blue convergence expected and a good day for flights beyond […]

A heat low over the Peninsula and a cold front out to the N.  A SW flow which will give us the classic convergence and reduce the problems of getting stuck at Avila in a N wind.  Cloud base above 3500m though mainly blue thermals outside of the convergence. This is a potential 200km day, […]

A flyable day but with the cool conditions and inversions  we will have a struggle early in the day going above 2300 and 2600 later in the afternoon.  Temperatures would need to go to 30º to get to 3000m, but that is unlikely in most areas.  Flights towards Barco and the Cherry Tree valley.  With […]

Similar to yesterday but slightly more west and higher base.   Today it may be more difficult to come back from Avila, though also may be difficult to push much beyond it due to the north wind effect, though it may be worth it, but flights beyond 100km may be difficult .  Thermals will take […]

Not disimilar to yesterday with valley breezes probably to the W early on then more NE predominating later in the day.  Perhaps a chance of going over the pass to Avila and return with these conditions, or a similar task to yesterday, though I would favour Avila and back today if the wind stays light. […]

Low cloud early this morning which will hopefully lift to around 2600 by late afternoon.  Supposedly blue thermals later on with wind from the N to NW.  Probably a day for a flight to the Pass then down to Barco via the flats.

Bits of the cold front originated with Hurrican Bertha lingering across the north of the Peninsula and another to pass actually through our area tomorrow.  Mainly blue thermals to around 3000m and some hints of cirrus.  The north will make it difficult to go beyond Avila, but persistence as with Sondrey, may give some results. […]

High pressure over the Azores, and a deep depression over the UK and a heat low over the Peninsula.  A cold front is moving through the N of Spain, which may twitch up the winds a little today and tomorrow, however the winds lower down are generally light initially though may mix down as the […]

Once again we have a forecast of 20 to 40km/hr in the boundary layer, so although possible elite yesterday, this will not be a particularly nice day to be in the air.  Wind is strongish and over the back (SE)at 8.30 am, so going up for an early sled ride is not possible either. For […]
