looking like a big week for some

Post by gary stenhouse »

just looking at the forecasts for the week, and i would expect to multiple 100+ k flights going off around the country. its looking dry very low humidity and sunny. friday could be good for the xfell area but i would reckon broughton and the long mynd will be producing big ones.

still be thankfull for what you get whether that is xc or a bumble about it's all flying after all.

as miller would say if you wernt there then it doesn't count, still bad weather is better for mid week as this way i can work uninterupted without the guilt of trying to fly. still there is still no rush with over 5 months of thermal flying possible you can only grab what you can and with the paramotor i hope to do a few more special flights

funny how you would think great skies and strong winds with skies to die for yet no big xcs. i maen quite a few xcs but noot like the amount over 100 yesterday, however tomorrow i think you will see a different story with lighter winds but same forecast wnw i would say wetherfell will be good the mynd parlick and the peaks dont think i can make it out but will go to radar masts if westerly enough after work or just go out on the ppg like tonight 19kg ppg like a walk in the park to launck could be the revolution in ppg for thermaling
