At the weekend...

Needless to say, Saturday wasnt much cop.

Today however, was apparently a bit more sporting. Whilst Roy psyched himself up for flying, we all marvelled at the 32knots gusts coming through...

The launch looked fine, but apparently it was a bit bumpy up there (I reckon hes going soft in his old age...) Yet again he went further than anyone else - just short of Callander and up to Kinloss.

Weather for tomorrow...conflicting forecasts, but I think it could be OK. But then, I dont care...'cause I will be at work...

Self Launching Puchacz...

Weekend Weather

Too tired to make any suggestions....big sunshine symbol and 17mph westerly - my high tech forecast - perhaps there will be some wave :)

Just to remind us there are days when even Alex can get round a task

At the weekend...

...you didnt miss much.

There was some flying on Saturday, including Roy W and Lynn FD having a tour of the Ski slopes in the Robin. Apparently they were all quite busy - but its good to know that its not only glider pilots who were having sledge rides yesterday...

Mike W made an appearence which was good to see, and I stuck myself to my glider. Fitting upholstery is the ultimate way to ruin a cockpit in one sitting.

Weekend Weather...

Friday again, so here is the weather outlook...

Saturday will start with sunny spells, but cloud is moving in through the day. The wind will be gentle westerly-ish...

Sunday will see more wind but also more cloud and outbreaks of rain/sleet.

Both days will be cold.

Saturday looking the nicer day, whether it is soarable though...

Stunning start to the year

First flying day of the year, and a great way to kick it off. Toni got her Silver height. Garry did 4.25 hours...just not quite 5...and me and Alex raced a Ventus in a K7... :-)

Also, my great runway clearing ventures yesterday resulted in a runway covered with ice... you just cant win.

Bruce's Exploits

JUST TO CHEER YOU UP, while we are sitting in the cold and wet...

Bruce Cooper has been racking up the kilometers down under, completing an impressive:

1 x 1000km
1 x 900km
5 x 800km
6 x 700km
2 x 600km
8 x 500km
2 x 400km
3 x 300km
1 x 200km

In the period between 23/11/07 to 05/01/08. Nice one...!

Yes, you all owe me a drink

I single handedly cleared a whole 30m-ish of the runway! Someone elses turn to hurt their back now

Weekend Weather

Forecast taken from BBC and Met Office...but hopefully this website can start to have some wave predictions. If anyone sees a good day coming, this is the place to say.

"Some bright and sunny spells, with occasional showers, falling as snow on higher ground. Winds light to moderate SW"

Chaz's soaring prediction...Lets hope we have lots of milk for tea :-) But Sunday looking the better day?
