Once again SW winds, improved thermal potential but tops lower at 3100m. Better themals may bring it onto PN, but once again a difficult day. What Happened? Brian, kevin and Gavin over the Pass to find lots of wind and not any decent climbs on thge other side. Nigel and Rob at the cemetery and […]
A very similar day to yesterday. However, the air quality if far greater with visibility in the valley a lot better at this time yesterday. Blue thermals to around 3800m. Good prospects for another trip to Segovia.
High pressure and significantly less wind than we have been experiencing. The Wind at PN at 9am across the hill (not over the back as previous days), so it is almost sure to pull onto PN launch. High base in the plains after around 2pm with enough South in the winds not to give us […]
Poor visisbility and some cirrus may reduce the potential of the day. However, it does at first seem we have flyable conditions with a good potential for a long XC. Conditions shoul be good enough by 1.30pm and the wind is dropping off during the morning. Wind SSW at PN at 8.30am. Probable trip to […]
Feasable conditions for PG. High thermal tops after 2pm but still quite high winds at altitude and posibility of dispersed Cbs. Well, tomorrow is looking more feasable with winds of 15km/hr from the SW. Today now looks far too windy to even contemplate an evening attempt.
Thermal tops to 11500ft and decent thermal quality …but once again top end for wind at over 50km/hr at top of boundry layer. Once again a day only for the brave, foolish and lucky – unless the forecast is wrong!
The deep depression in the Atlantic will move N towards the UK but we will get further strong upper level S winds which will increase the temperature. Better thermal qality than yesterday, with probably climbs to c3000m. Top temp expected around 33ºC. If it reaches 35ºC then we may see formation of Cu, posibly developing […]
The south west winds still tied to upper level strong SW linled to depressions in the Atlantic. Spome African air due to arrive increasing temperatures. Inversion at 2600m and with top temp around 28ºC climbs to above 2800m unlikely. Wind may come on at PN (S at 8.30am) but we will be prepared to go […]
Mmm, first frontal rain since May I think. Hopefully it will pass and later leave a lighter more northerly unstable airflow. well, we did get some Evening flying after a trip to Salamanca and before the Big pieles.
The depression spinning offtowards the UK is sending us upper level SWerlies and a cold front due to pass us tomorrow. Thermal conditions are reasonable today with potential climbs to over 3000m. However, winds are likely to be too strong for safe paragliding. Tomorrow, with the arrival of the front winds the wind would normally […]
