AndyB Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 My last flight before returning to the UK tomorrow. On the beach 26 deg, at 5500 feet - warmer! This was the first time I have made it over the top of Reales mountain. Because it is a stand-alone mountain, whichever way the wind blows it is very turbulent around most of the mountain! Today, 7 mph, blowing with me as I climbed. I followed the the largest ridge on the way up, gaining lots of extra lift. Above the top, engine off and just kept climbing. The mountain is 4800 and I was taken up to 5500 by it. Took 25 minutes of engine off back to the beach, where I was still at 2100 feet. Two photos on the way up and 3 from the top. 1 3 Quote

NickSee Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Nice bit of met experience imparted whilst also making us very jealous of your 26 degrees, glorious setting and flyable weather it looks great Andy, thanks for sharing and glad you were packing in the experiences before returning to the cold and wet! Hoping for a chance to fly this weekend, think Sat is wet for Membury but maybe Sunday.... 1 Quote
