Routine Storms
Another scorcher today. The clouds were looking good early on, but kept growing… before long a dark solid base was forming. There were a few gliders around lunchtime getting high up above the Fiz range. It was just so hot, we decided to enjoy the time we’ d got, it’ll all kick off again soon enough. Gliders were getting high, but going nowhere. Tomorrow hopefully the temperature will drop and become much more pleasant.
The storm arrived with thunderous cracks and lightning flashes, it’s getting to be quite a regular pattern, it pours with rain but does not remain cool for very long, before the humidity returns with tropical intensity. The cellar is the coolest part of the house just now, maybe we should relocate down there.

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.
