We continue with the Anticyclone and increasing temperatures. Hopefully less inverted than yesterday . We have less wind which may allow us to fly out towards the NE. There may be a local competition today so we should have more wind dummies. What Happened. A great day with plenty of us going from Barco and […]
Potentially not a bad day. We continue with the NE flow, Once again an inversion , the not so abrupt, at 2600, but climbs to c3000m should deb possible later in the day. The wind maybe light enough to take the NW track of yesterday (see track log and map below). this would take […]
The Atlanic high is positioning itself to give us sunny weather for the week. However, today the tail end of a cold front with pass through. Winds are actually a little stronger than yesterday. Once again today it will be worth getting into the air early before we have problems getting off. […]
WSW at the windsock at 9am, so likely to come onto the main launch at PN. Local forecast shows lessening risk of cloud and rain, though the skew T seems to indicate otherwise. We will see, but initially looks like another XC day. Decision time at 11am, but briefing around 10.30 ish. 1500 What Happened […]
We should have the best of it in our region today with much of the instability now towards the NE. An inversion around 35oo should stop too much overdevelopment. Light S winds so it may come on to PN, though Lastra may will be a better idea in case there are some bigger cells, and […]
Warmer day with good xc prospects though the chance of some Congestus clouds spoiling the day for the less brave. We may need to go to Lastra take off, and with the more south component may give us an opportunity to miss the Madrid TMA going between the Valladolid and Madrid Airspaces *see diagram. What […]
High pressure over the peninsula with a heat low forming. A rise to temperatures not experienced for a week or so and light winds from the SW. This is a great day for xc towards Avila and maybe beyond. Light winds will give N at Avila, so will be possible to fly back to […]
Goodbye this morning to our great group from the Derbyshire Soaring Club. The core of the group, Alan, Steve, John and Chinny have been here for 2 weeks, in which time the insatiable Chinny has racked up just over 777km. They are off for more now in Ager. With the DSC we have managed to […]
Not disimilar to yesterday, though the upper level winds are higher which could make things a little wild . More SW component, so less problem of getting held back in the N winds after Avila. Some Cirrus due fronts moving across the N. Blue thermals predicted, though I imagine there will be Cu in […]
