Neilzy Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Checking XC Weather and Sat looks fantastic & Sunday not to bad either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 BBC weather shows high pressure moving in from friday, but the way the weather is at the moment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yeah it's changed again now. XCWeather has a tendency to do that. But the high pressure is our best indicator. Hopefully it'll be the 6-7mph as currently forecast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Metcheck model seems to differ slightly on the wind front...anyone bringing a speed wing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 At that speed....I'd just hold my arms out-stretched to fly! If the wind is that strong, I'll be holding training classes for how to do this at the fly-in....probably not by choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilzy Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ok weather wise its looking ok Sunday looking to be the best day but with local knowledge etc and maybe a bit of wishful thinking the weekend is looking totally flyable. early morning at evenings will always moostly be flyable down here so hoping that we have lots of pilots come so looking forward to maybe having a mass blast along the beach. Anyone need to contact us my mobile is 07977137255 See ya there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neilzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheman Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Might be useful.... (right click- view image or save as...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Due to some last minute commitments, I'll be getting there mid-afternoon on the Saturday. (Probably about 3pm). XCWeather is showing weather being a little questionable on the Saturday anyway, but I'll be there in time for the possibility of any evening flying and then beers and barbecue ready to get up at the crack of dawn for some nice flying on the Sunday! Sunday morning currently looks really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
