Wings (of) Change
The forecasters were pretty close today, high clouded white sky this morning, with moderate to strong NE winds up high, light to moderate mid mountain, and light lower down. The high sky cleared, and left us with a big blue area, there was a bit of an inversion, but that was all we needed. We managed to get another ‘plouf!’ in but hey when you’ve got new gliders to fly, anything is just great! We were alone at first, later joined by Xavier, with a new student on his premier vol, and I might add, he had a spot on landing… Matthieu again, this time flying a Gradient (he’s got such a stable of gliders!) Eduard, on his Little Cloud, and that was about it today. A small but varied group. Can’t complain it was a flyable day non the less. Mind you, Dennis is in love! and by the look of his wing who can blame him!! …. and we had Mt Blanc, non? Mt Rosè late this evening! More pictures in the gallery.
Dennis in love!

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.
