isoaritfirst Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Booked the ferries and the tryp hotel for la muela. Ferries are already hard to find with some crossings full and others with limited accommodation. Had to book a bigger cabin than I really needed. On the plus side there are now a few economy ferries that run, saving a couple of quid. Also there is currently a 30% reduction on rooms at the Tryp provided you pay up front. Breakfasts at the Tryp are very good and we'll worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Also booked with Brittany ferries, a 11 day holiday in Asturias. Taking in the Gijon comp in august. The holiday with 11 nights in a self catering casa seems very good value with a 20% reduction for early booking through Brittany ferries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear that Mike, we could possibly have some training together before the comp. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi Silv2.doc Not sure if that insert works, but its a file of a post card I sent to Silv after our first trip to La Madelaine then down to La Muela. Next one is just weeks away and I am looking forward to the holiday. Some nice memories that you may enjoy if you fancy a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isoaritfirst Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Liz and I have arrived at the tryp hotel in Guadalajara. Very easy drive down this afternoon and the crossing was the best I have known. Boat never bobbed at all. Remarkably flat conditions. Didnt have time to go to the hill as Liz wanted to go shopping for some groceries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isoaritfirst Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Strange. - but I can't find the like button for your post pointing towards today's results Simon. just had a very nice meal with Andreas though, so day not a complete washout. And the fs3 had a somewhat miraculous dice with death and won . I almost stopped Pierre from launching it but buzzer was counting down and a zero was looming conditions were however as I expected and the model went down, down, deeper and down . and yet another revival Status Quo resumed. Same every year La muela 1 me 0. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oipigface Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 You might think so, but I don't see how it can be, for three reasons: I) The Spanish for 'wind' is 'viento' with an 'i'. ii) if it were wind speed, it must have one hell of a day! F3F CD's usually measure windspeed in m/s, 120 for the leading pilot is way above the legal max, and loads of these numbers are way below the legal min of 3m/s. iii) wouldn't it be listed for each round?

isoaritfirst Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Great day today. Bumpy gusty air ranging between 4ms and12 ms. Full of thermals but due to variability it was safer to fly lighter than we would consider in the uk. 600 to 800g. Made for a rough ride sometimes. I had my share of good stuff and cut once. I think it was the round were I finished second. Model took off with great speedin some stunning lift so as normal I started flying predictively and cut. As I said the other day , it seems the only way I can fly here is to wait for the buzzer before turning. My normal tight course just doesn't work. Problem then is that corners are extended and not rounded well so flight becomes messy and speed is lost . But despite this I did manage to claw my way back up the board on every flight. Just needed a load more rounds to make up for the tip over the safety line penalty and the numerous cuts and sh1 t air on the first two days. Still i should consider myself lucky that I still have a fs3 Had a very nice tapas tonight with Pierre and his wife and looking forward to a bit of a test tomorrow and a ride on the bikes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
