Happy Days:
So there I was, sitting in Nine Stones carpark at 11am. Lovely warm sunshine. Steam rising off of the tarmac road, and the wind had picked up a little.
So why wasn't I a happy guy?
The bloody wind had also changed direction and was blowing from East - South East. No flying on Mt. L. :cry: !
So I got back in my car and came home. But to add insult to injury, here at home, the wind is still in the south :shock: I assume the center of the low pressure area must be somewhere in the 25K between me and Big L.
What a shitty day!
Peter:
Thanks Keith for the weather commentary from Mt L - very useful to have someone 'on the ground'. Too bad the wind did not co-operate today. Weather looks poor for the coming week too. I'm happy to postpone for a fortnight - although I will probably be busy on the 30th. However, if the weather is OK, may try to get to Mt. L for gliding on Sunday 31st.

DaveMc:
Pity things did not work out this weekend. We took a chance and went up to tounntine today. We got over an hours flying but had to duck some heavy showers. Otherwise it worked out ok. Hopefully we will make it over in a couple of weeks.
The wind was shifting from S to SE so we were flying electric gliders over the small lake at the top. There is a bowl shape here which generates lift for lighter models. Not the most ideal slope but any port in a storm eh?
Fred:
Hi all,
Same as Peter, I would like to take the opportunity to thanks Keith for his updates on the weather conditions live at the slope ! :clap:
I have sent a mail to the MACI to update the event calendar, and put the ISR glide-in for the 30 / 31st of May :D
Hopefully with a much decent weather (should not be too difficult ! :evil: )
Dave, I'll only be there the 13th of June for the National, as I have the daughter Christening the next day !
