the first large group of the season and on arriving early back from the airport we went for an XC. 12 over the Pass , Didier at 100km + near Segovia, and Ralph with an out and return from Beyond Avila back to Piedrahita for his PB, first 100km (it was about 130km). Many beyond […]
An excellent XC day yesterday from Lastra with good Cu and climbs to 3000m. Romain made 50.8 km and Anne 60,8 to near Peñaranda. When I landed after near Peñaranda with wind was picking up to around 20km/hr and thermals getting very strong with streeting, so a day with a lot of potential. Our star […]
yesterday, after a swim with the dogs in the Tormes, we finally got flying at Chia, at around 5pm. Some very good thermal climbs, but nobody got away.
East wind yesterday and the most successful morning flight by Michal, who made Barco and back to San Lorenzo. A decent evening flight later soaring on the PN rock face side.
Cam, who flew for the first time with us yesterday (he has been ill since his arrival) managed a top to bottom and an evening soar for an hour or so. Cam, like Ian last week, has arrived with only a CP to his name and essentially no experience, so every bit counts. Hopefully his […]
Saturday was a great day with various over the Pass, notably Ian, on his first week of paragliding post Cp. Sunday, nice conditions for those who stayed on with Cu and only Michael going over the Pass.
A very good quality day with Hari and I turning back at the Pass ( a little N on other side) and returning to Piedrahita. Steve went over and was one climb short of Avila at Niharra. Ian made his 2nd modest XC to the quarry and back to past the long Bar. Mari did […]
Continuing excellent conditions this week and further progress for Ian with climbs above 2500m for him and his first modest XC to near the Pass. A great looking day…but for me, Steve, a quick trip to the bomb out field at the Windmill! Nice evening conditions and plenty of flying for all.
For a near autumnal day yesterday gave us climbs equal and better to July. Hari and I went ingot he Avila valley, Harri landing at La Torre after finding a climb to 3000m at the Pass. After a low save at Blatcha I went to 3300m and left the climb to land with Hari. However, […]
A super day for Mari with some high thermal climbs to near 2600m and a successful trip to near the Pass then back to Villafranca 1st junction. Also 4 flights for Ian with a few more hours for his log book and first high thermalling. Great conditions for low airtime’s these last days!
