Winter Returns
Atrocious weather. Best place to be is probably Pocos de Caldas in Brazil for the 2010 Paragliding World Cup.
Only Steve Etherington is listed, for the Brits, but not confirmed. On the French side of life, Elisa Houdry, and Mathieu Vermeil are up and running. Elisa was getting her harness tweaked for this event, it seems. We met Mathieu on the landing field here, before he was jetting off…
We will be keeping a close eye on the Tasks as they unfold.
Meanwhile, not much happening here, although, an extremely active cold front has arrived bringing with it, thundery showers, howling winds, rattling shutters, and various other interesting phenomena that stormy conditions produce. The snow limit is forecast to drop to 1000 mtrs. overnight, with approximately 15-25cms at 2000 mtrs. We’ve got strong Southerlys, and it’s not looking to improve until maybe Thrusday, and then it’s forecast to be ‘Unsettled’, with only a slight improvement later in the day, so it’s not looking too good. Winters returned, although the Sun did decide to show up late this afternoon.
Meanwhile in Pocos de Caldas, the weather is looking interesting. It looks like there may be windows of opportunity in the early part of the week for the PWC and maybe getting better later on.
