Another sunny day at Algo and another trip out to Montaellano. Ed further boosted his hours and Richard has now got to fly both the U turn Black light and the Rush 3.
Our first day down here in Southern Spain at Montellano with a strong N wind. We spent the morning on a hike to the Castle, but after lunch the wind had moderated to go from the lower take off. A few hours for most and flying till sunset. Ed, our new CP who to now […]
Last week lived up to its promise with light wind PG conditions trhoughout with temperatures in the mid 20s. Base around 2800- 3200m mid week, though dropping to only around 2400m yesterday (saturday) when I made my only flight of the week ( a commercial tandem). Puri flew one day earlier in the week, though […]

A very difficult week ahead for decent paragliding as the low to the N of Spain depens and moves towards the UK but giving us persistent strong SW wins and unsettled weather. Today very little thermic activity with a strong inverstion aroun 2100m and cool temperatures (18ºC). If the wind goes west enough then we […]
