Hi guys
Well there is a definite change in the weather for this weekend over the past couple of weeks, which have been stormy to say the least.
So Saturday is looking like the windiest day with a N-NNW at 28 mph but calming down a bit as the afternoon progresses. However, the kick in the teeth is the temperature which at Cardiff airport will be about 6*C, add to that the altitude at the Bwlch say, and the wind chill factor, and that amounts to a bloody cold day!
Sunday we are looking at similar temperatures but the wind is forecast to be mostly from the north but about 17 mph.
Both days are looking great to re-maiden my rebuilt Polecat anyway.
I was thinking of heading up to Hirwaun Common as we have northerly winds. The lift is superb there and every bit as good as the Bwlch, in my opinion, but Hirwaun has a first class landing zone, unlike the VR98, which can be a bit hairy with the road so close to the flying area. But with the temperatures being so low, the VR98 may be the better option as we can warm up in our cars when body parts begin to freeze.
What I may do is fly the Bwlch on Saturday and Hirwaun on Sunday. We'll see.
Happy flying
Steve
