Gliders > Slope Soaring

This weekend Glide - In ?

(1/8) > >>

Happy Days:
I’ve just got back from the Big L. Conditions were ‘gentle’ to ‘fair’ on the west slope.

The polyhedral Riser 100 floated around until the wind gusts became a little too strong for my liking. A few heart stopping moments during the first landing attempt, :( ……. went around and ended up cart wheeling her on the second landing attempt. :evil:  The fuse snapped just behind the wing saddle…..there’s a surprise!

No Phase 6 to play with today, (I must crack on and finish the new one. It‘s amazing how much you miss what you haven‘t got when you‘ve been used to it,) so up went the Alpina. :D  Almost ‘lost’ it in the low cloud! That caused the old heart to flutter a little bit too.

I’ve seen nothing on the forum about this weekends’ glide in. (It was supposed to be this weekend, wasn’t it? :?: ) I’m assuming it has been abandoned due to poor weather forecasts? Is anyone intending to give it a try tomorrow or Sunday?

Howdy Keith,

So far, I'm , and it's in... Unless people prefer to move it another week end of course!
Forecast change all the time, so hard to tell, wind seems to be the only thing that is certain, but yesterday, Saturday was looking a few showers, and good on Sunday.
Just checked, and it changed again to more rain...

Up to you guys!
If cancelled, let me know now, but whatever happen, I'll go anyway, just in case.

I had given up on the thought of traveling this weekend. Thought of a half tank of diesel  :(

Loads to do for the Menez so I am out.

JohnPearson:
Hi guys

I have checked the weather a few times, and it is changing all the time. It still looks like it is going to be a poor weekend with rain 90% most days.
I think that we will also not travel this weekend and keep the money for our trip to France in May.

Okidoki  :D

So, is it cancelled altogether or some are still showing up?  :?:

First time ever we will cancel by the way if we do  8)

I guess the "locals" will show up anyway, so I will go up there on Saturday. Local weather can be very hard to tell!  :!:  :!:
