A pleasant day yesterday conforming to the forecast.  3 flights and an XC to Barco for many of the group and easy evening conditions  

Yesterday we finally had some nice conditions for the Avon club with an early XC down to Barco , then an evening flight to the same.  Airtime record for Richard Harding, who spent 5 .5 hours in the air, staying up after we did an early morning flight down until arrival in Barco.

Conditions finally abated yesterday for some fairly decent evening flying at PN taking off from the lower launch.  

A trip to Salamanca for sightseeing!  

Saturday gave us a great day to finish with the Malverns group with good thermic conditions and probably the best flights by Nigel and Byan toward the Pass and Back and Simon with a flight to Barco and then back to Santa Maria de los Caballeros.   A nice thermic flight on the tandem with […]

Yesterday gave good strong thermic climbs after a slow start with Graham first over the Pass and to Avila followed by Brian and Gavin.  Others stayed in the valley, with Simon making it home from the Pass.  I did a thermic flight with Kobus. The evening soar was spectacular with a major restitution giving smooth […]

The forecast was pretty much spot on in the end, even though we had a lot of smoke debris and muck stuck below the inversion causing poor visibility.  Nice convergence clouds in the centre of the Avila valley, and Richard, Graham, Brian, Nigel an myself at Avila with Tim and Tony  very near.  Also new […]

Tricky day with too much wind and dust devils at launch…not to mention the van having to go to the garage for a bent track rod from the retrieve the day before.  Just evening soaring .

First time to Avila for Kevin (though we did do it together by tandem some years ago).  Also a PB for Simon and Steve, who before had only around 6km as a pb and yesterday flew over the Pass to land at Pradosegar.  Great evening conditions too.

A late evening flight with wind a little too much to the west to make it good for the  arriving Malverns group.
