A sunny day in general, though the instability is less so that early morning XC will not be so easy. Perhaps a little top end with the NW wind. What happened. some decent thermalling around the valley during the early afternoon and a big restitution flight in the evening.
The instability is moving south and today should be a little better though a good deal of Stratus later in the day perhaps.
Light N to NE with cool air in the upper layers. Instability is likely to lead to showers during the day. Hopefully cloud base will go above the hill top later and before it rains! Not brilliant, but maybe something can be salvaged.
My long awaited trip to the Uk has so far been fantastic. My new Delta 2 arrived just in time and my first flight was from my favorite site of Ubley was down to the coast to Exmouth with about 90km. A lovely bank holiday shared with lots of like minded folk in the North […]
A low pressure scenario at altitude which will finish joining with a cold front coming from the North. Not brilliant. However, winds in the N going a little more NW as the day goes on and they should be not too strong and give us some opportunities to fly at Peña Negra Hopefully the […]
Back home now to quite nice flying weather in Piedrahita. Yesterday we managed to get an hour or so at Montellano before going to the airport. Most had over 6 hours flying this week, with young Ed showing much promise for the future. No XC conditions the last week, but nice soaring in pleasant conditions […]
No flying but a bit of tourism in Ronda.
A good thermic flight today for Richard on the Blacklight, though the others got off a bit late to take full advantage. The second flight pretty much a downflight. Now back in Algo for probable rain tomorrow
This morning and looking so for tomorrow, very windy in Algo. We came up to Cenes for a couple of flights protected from the strong SE wind by the Sierra Nevada range. Tonight into downtown Granada for an Indian meal.
Gentle thermic conditions and light wind at the SE face of Algodonales . Ed continues to impress us with his first day dealing with thermals and often near the top of the stack and flying for around one and a half hours.
