Top score for Rob today with a 42minute flight in the morning scratch, then a whopping flight to Avila (over the walls and cathedral) on the XC flight. Only Dave, Ian, Rob and myself managed to get over the pass in some very light and stable condtions running up to it. At the pass Rob, […]
A great day, with light NW winds and climbs to 2600m. Excellent for Mike, with a new pb to near Avila. Most got three decent flights, though apart from Mike, most bombed near the pass on the xc jaunt. Looking good from here on for a while.
Now is the 4th day of amazingly strong winds. Looks like tomorrow we will be back to flying. Here´s hoping.
Very very strong SW winds and hot weather. Ug. A trip to the river with the Kayaks and some mountainbiking, but spirits low with the winds due to continue .
We have had excellent flying conditons with only around 4 days lost over the last month. However, this seems to have come to a bit of an end with some problematic conditions for the next few days. Yesterday (Sunday) was an excellent day. Alan made climbs to 3200m and set off towards Salamanca untill he […]
Yesterday we had a great early XC flight though the wind came on a bit strong at take off. Strong climbs but not to above 2200m. I flew a few little valley circuits and Sebastian went off on a low level XC to Puente de Congosto. A strong NE came in during the evening flight, […]
Wednesday gave us quite stable conditions with many having to fight to stay up around 2pm. Myself and Dave got to the pass after a climb through the inversions to around 2600m at the Big Spine. I spent around an hour waiting around the cemetery and pass watching Dave struggle to get up. After an […]
Quite ratty thermals on the way to the pass today with climbs not over around 2300m. Jan, Dave and myself crossed (most others landing before the Cementary), though it was not worth it, just a glide to short of Amavida. Breezy and cool. The evening flight was much much nicer with good climbs to around […]
A fantastic week for Wilfred, now a deserving spanish champion after 6 epic task. I cancelled Task 7 due to over strong winds from the SW. Overall some 46,055km were flown by pilots over the 6 days. A record number of task and Kms for a spanish nationals event. Sunday pilots flew to segovia (115km), […]
Once again epic conditions with climbs over 3500m. We set a valley task within the Corneja valley progressively zigzagging out towards the flats as the afternoon wore on. The last turnpoint was some 12km out to the NW of the Piedrahita goal and many pilots struggled into the headwind there. 50 in goal with the […]
