Weekend 1st & 2nd August's flying & other stuff

Hi all

Well another weekend is upon us and for once it looks like we may get some flying in on both days.

With light winds forecast for both days, a south westerly on Saturday, I may just head up to the Meio around about lunch time for a couple of hours and give the Impala another chuck to see if I've got the C of G right before next weekends PSSA meet in N Wales.

Sunday is looking like a light south easterly, so I think Back of Wrecker at the Bwlch is going to be the place to be, hopefully with that breeze blowing up the valley we should get something close to 20 mph on the ridge, enough to keep most models happy.

I shall be getting the PSS EE Lightning, the MB-326 Impala and maybe a couple of light wind sports models ready next week for Friday's drive up to Abersoch on the LLeyn Peninsula for the PSSA Fly for Fun weekend, 8th & 9th August. With any luck we'll get a bit more wind than the last meet in Llandudno in June where we only had between 9 - 12 mph.

Paul Hampshire and a few of the guys from Slope Soaring Sussex are visiting the Bwlch next Friday to Sunday. I think Phil is going to meet up with them on the Sunday but I'm sure they'd be happy with some local company should anyone be available to fly on Friday afternoon or Saturday also.

So that's about all for this week, have a good weekend and I hope to see some of you on the slopes.

Happy flying
Steve
