William Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Apologies Mark, I'm putting my name down for this even though I can't make the 20-21st but I can make it for the reserve date the next weekend 27-28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Could someone with local knowledge comment on the forecast for the weekend please? All the forecasts I follow have been stable all week, showing no wind on Saturday, and a very very gentle breeze (if anything at all) on Sunday. I'd obviously really want to be flying, but think this looks pretty unlikely so if anyone has a realistic assessment it would be appreciated.

wookman Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Sunday looks like it might work a bit but is anybody going to be brave enough to load up enough ballast to go sub 40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil.Taylor Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Synoptic chart shows it will be right in the middle of a high pressure system - i.e. not much wind - but will be dry & maybe sunny ! Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme_M Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It’s a difficult one, Xc is showing light 7-12 mph NE on Sunday in Nantymoel, probably a bit more on the hill, so flyable if this can be believed. Unflyable Saturday so spot flying - dlg/electric assist. looking at the long range next weekend looks wet. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtreble Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 I have been patiently waiting for the weather forecasts to change, but they all seem to agree that there will be no wind this weekend. Maybe Sunday afternoon could be just about flyable, but it's hit and miss. With that in mind, I am calling it OFF and moving to the reserve dates next weekend.

MikeE Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Well I'm here already, looks like I'm staying the week. Tomorrow looks like a decent day, and Sunday "could" be a good day on the wrecker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a shower or two, but the Met Office is predicting it will be dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
