Flight Logs

TINTO NORTH 15TH APRIL

Arrived at TINTO at 10.30am to find swarms of cars,after a wee chat with some folk we wandered up to find a good breeze,but no one flying,I think it had been a bit strong but was nice when we arrived.

The sky looked good but it was never going to be the predicted 5 on rasp,nice easy launch and a sniff around to get the feel of things and back in for a top landing,feeling good,maybe of to the NNE a bit but It was due to come good.

Off again,and to start with it was fairly easy going with lots of space but this was to change later when everybody was in the air,it was ok when it was working and gave plenty of separation,but in between cycles it was getting dangerous.

Cacra Bank - 25th march 2012

a nice day out at cacra bank.

Rob, Jamie, Tim, Dudley and Craig all got some flying in.

Rob got through the inversion on one occasion and I think I almost did on a couple of tries.

Pressure was high ~1037mb but thermals wer still popping off along with a bit of met wind.

Quite strong at times. Warm too!

Good thermaling practice. Just want more now...

Saturday started a bit confusingly with met office giving WNW and xc weather giving NE ,where to go what to do ?

A quick call to tommy confirmed something was worth a go ,what ,no one was sure ,so picked up Dave Lyal and headed to St Marys lock for a look... Iit was gonna be light wherever. Arriving at Bridgend the wind was none existant in fact i think it actually sucked at one point !!,and the tops were still a little claged in at 11.30.

So what to do ?
