Sweet M&M’s and Little Clouds
The sky was clear this morning… Lovely. We hoped we’d be able to get a flight in, on our new gliders… We did, it was lovely. Can’t expect much this time of year, in the way of thermic activity, but it’s nice to get acquanited with a new wing, in these gentle conditions. It wasn’t flat, there were bits and pieces, so it was fun trying to maintain. It was the first time, I’d ever had a brand new glider, untouched!, what a treat, Santa’s a couple of weeks early! Managed to scrape just half an hour, but it was sweet, very sweet. We were joined by Mathieu (not flying his Arctik today), and Eduard, on their Little Cloud, mini-vols whooping about! 70% sun was forecast today, but it seemed more like 90%, they’ve forecast 60% tomorrow so hopefully another flyable day.

Autumn Is Upon Us
Autumn is definately here, with the treetops all turning, the temperature dipping, a regular dampness in the morning, and condensation on the windscreens. The snow has made a fleeting appearance , settling on Varan, and the surrounding mountains although then disappearing… just a minor taste of things to come. Our flying has now taken on the more serene character of gentle air and mild soaring. It is all still very enjoyable as what we don’t have in the spring and summer months in the shape of strong thermals and xc potential, we make up for in the sheer beauty of the changing landscape and the depth of colour, artists revel in. So here’s to welcoming in all the changes that mother natures offers….. We are still flying, but just scraping climb outs now.
