norbertflyer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good stuff Jock, Will be down when back from Algo. 7 days flying in a row so far. Rough at times in the midday thermals, but good experience. Had some big collapses and a few fights with dust devils! Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbertflyer Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Great day in the air. Shame no one else turned up. Hope you all got some good air time elsewhere. Bob visited twice to have a look but went up Castlemoreton for a PG Fly. Just over 4 hours in the air across 5 flights. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been over 3 times and never been dissapointed. Hi Dan, It was quite rough some of the days, with the westerly Atlantic sea breeze hitting the prevailing SE winds quite early at about midday. The convergence was violent at times and I had the wing below me a couple of times. Weightlessness was also experienced twice. Wing recovered impeccably though, (worth sticking to an EN class C !!!). Prior to this time, if you could head off over east of the twin peaks (Olvera), you got quite a good flight in. 98km on one day for our group. Ronda was tricky to get to, as a result. Landed after one flight 5 seconds before a dusty arrived! No rain for 5 months over there, may have had something to do with the conditions! Evening flights reminded me of soaring the Malverns. 42 degrees C in Seville..... Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
