Welsh Open Practice update

Hi All

For those of you lucky enough to be at the Bwlch today you should be enjoying some sunshine. The forecast has changes a little and is indicating that there is now more west in the wind direction. If you are finding the air a bit bumpy on the Ice Cream Slope it might be worth having a look at the Westerly slope on Mickey’s.

The good news is that Thursday was looking like a washout but it now looks like the rain could well clear by mid afternoon (16:00 onward) so if you are travelling down there could be a good chance of getting a couple of hours flying in. Again there could be a bit more west in the wind than previously forecast so you may need to go over to the westerly slope on Mickey's for the best conditions.

Enjoy and all the best

Welsh Open Practice

Hi All

For those of you coming down early for a practice for the Welsh Open I will ask the Farmer to open the gate to Mickey’s from Wednesday onwards.

Current forecast are suggesting Ice Cream Slope Wednesday, on Thursday Mickey’s during the day (with some precipitation) swinging back to The Ice Cream slope in the evening. However, as we all know 24 hours is along time in for a weather forecast on the Bwlch and it could all change by this time tomorrow!

If it is your first time to the Bwlch, best bet is always go to the landing area for the Wrecker to judge wind direction (see Kev’s old web site http://www.knewt.com/bwlch/thebwlch.htm ) before making a decision where to fly.

Any questions contact Kev or myself and I am looking forward to seeing you all on the weekend.

All the best


Andrzej
