any ideas for tommorow i was thinking the lakes will be the place but if it turns out to be sw then crossfell might be better or easier

Had an absolute fab day today on Blease, forecast for tomorrow is the same but maybe a bit stronger, but the wind today was no probs at all penetration wise so fingers crossed it will be as good as today was

My vote is for Blease (or Jenkin if it turns out to be a bit SSW). That's where I'm going anyway

yes it def looks like it is going to be southerly so i would say blease is where i will be tommorow. looking forward for that lovely walk up thank goodness for light weight kit.

the alternative would be hownam but it would be nice to get a nice ridge run in for the end of the season

Hi guy's,

Yep the Lakes were epic yesterday, 4m climbs to base at nearly grand all over the place. Today is s.w. approx. 15mph at 3 grand, with wave clouds forming at about 3-4 grand. Looks like a great day for Jenkin just watch the wind i.e. do not ridge soar it push forwards with height. I would also say Cross fell would work today properly unlike when the wind is more to the south.

Please note though that Bewaldeth is still closed for free flying (only my school allowed) and it is looking like the farmer is not very happy with flyers at the moment due to people flying the site when it was closed recently. So could be closed for a long time if not permanently.

There is a dirty big MX track there, is this on hold and in threat of closure also?
