Steve Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Although my last flight was a good one, a lovely evening hour or so over the Brecon Beacons, it's now been nearly two months since the weather has given me a break that I've managed to use. The outlook looks pretty grim for a while too. How are the other parts of the UK doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Same here, can`t wait to get into the air again, especially as it`ll be with my new wing.. Last flight for me was 25th Oct. Could possibly of flown last Sunday but it was rather overcast but low winds and mild, so i did a bit of ground handling at the field instead. I do like to see a bit of clear sky when i`m up and prefer to fly at least 1500`, don`t like being hemmed in by clag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 According to my 'days working in the field' stats... this is the worst November and December in the last 9 years! The way I look at it is this... Statistically, we are getting the wind out of the way in one lump which means we will get epic amounts of flying weather in the near future It's never been too windy for 365 days of the year, it's just maths :-) CHIN UP!!!

gordon_dunn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Weather is bad at the moment, and may seem to be getting worse- but may not be as bad as it seems. If the colder weather comes, high pressure sitting over the country- flying conditions will improve, and all this wet ground will freeze up and make it flyable again. Winter has good stable laminar air, usually without thermals- just as long as you can bear the cold!. On the other positive- the daylight length will progressivley be increasing from next Tuesday onwards...... Bring on the spring time!!!!!!

alan_k Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have brought the paramotor over with me previously when in the UK over Christmas, but didn't this time around due to lack of space. So far I haven't regretted it due to unflyable conditions Did get a few flights in November before I came over though Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
