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.
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 […]
A long drive yesterday after the airport drop at Malaga. Finally some more flying at El Bosque on Saturday, though the previous 3 days we spent in Seville and Ronda sightseeing and doging the rain.

Puri flew one day earlier in the week, though […]

Extensive rain but clearing late this afternoon so we may bet a flight with the NE wind.
Nimbostratus galore!
Low pressure in the south of Spain and an approaching warm from from the south. Not ideal! Rain forcast south of us and a lot of upper level cloud. Difficult conditions for decent flying.
Passage of cold front throught the Peninsula which should leave us by mid morning with a rapid drop off in wind speed and thermals to around 8500ft. If we fly it may be one of the few places in Europe that it is possible today. Tomorrow light E winds and more sunshine. What Happened? A […]
