A ridge of high pressure to the W will bring light winds and good soaring conditions for the next few days. Today light SW to W (NW on mountain) should give us a good oportunity for a flight to Avila. Base around 2500, rising to over 3000m in some areas. The wind at take off […]
Looks like an easy week for flying with generally light winds and good thermal conditions. Today the thermal quality should be particularly good with thermal tops around 2900m.
Too windy yesterday, but now a stretch of very pleasant conditions await. Only a few of us around next week, this last week of May being one of the only weeks when we are not fully booked for the rest of the season. Just finishing off the last bits of DIY repairs on the guest […]
Light winds and good thermals to near 3000m. Hopefully we will have a good day today. Paul Russell has just arrived and along with Bryan Hindle we will give it a go. No retrieve as I am taking Jorge our driver on the tandem to try an XC on the new Magnum 2. Further tracker […]
Looking good for a while ahead. To much to be done on the ground though untill Thursday.
Strong thermic conditions at mid day after short morning flight. Only Alberto and Luis near towards the Pass. The evening flight in restitution gave 4 personal bests with with landings around Villafranca and Casas del Puerto. Our low airtime coastal ridge soaring group were very happy.
Approx. 15km/hr winds from W with upto 3/m climbs to Cu at c2500m. Not a bad day to cross the pass for a flight towards Avila. The developing low pressure will likely bring Cbs over the next few days curtailing flights by mid afternoon. Congestus clouds likely today in mountains and Ambles which is one […]
Not a good day with too much wind to safely fly paragliders. Maybe a chance late afternoon at Lastra del Cano. More moderate wind over days to come
4 flights in weak thermals and light NW drift. To the Cemetery at Casas del Puerto for mysef and Alberto on the 3rd flight.
Forecasts seems puzzling with isobars giving more easterly winds and the computer models more W. Light W to our W in Bejar, E on the plateau behind Peña Negra and S in Avila. Thermal strenght supposedly weak. yesterday the day turned out far better than forecast with good climbs to above 2300m, allowing the hero […]
