Woodstock Friday 7/30?

[uplandann]

Looks a little light: 5-10 out of the NW. Gonna be much nicer with temps near 80. I won't be flying it yet but could chat and learn more about the site and how to get to the LZ,. Anyone considering?

If not, I think I will try visiting Long's Hill.

Thanks,
Ann

I've been crossing my fingers since yesterday that Woodstock might work out for Friday. I'd venture a guess that there may be some thermal possibility after about 2:30, and not too bad for the ol' single surface falcon. I could be up for giving it a try mid/late afternoon if we can find an observer.

PS ... I gave TonyD a call, and he may be in for an afternoon try if he can cut work early ... more to come.

A couple of paraglider pilots have mentioned Woodstock Friday (perhaps a bit earlier, like 1100) but I'm not seeing any HG observers come out of the woodwork. (Try the procedure recommended in the H2 protocol: call them on the phone, offer beer, offer to drive if they go XC - desperate times call for desperate measures...) Alas, I used up all my leave on getting the sailplane license... - Hugh

Forecast looks a little too north Friday. I will check it again in the morning before trying Woodstock.

Wow ... defnitiely taking a turn to the North ... May have to go for a truck tow day.

Check the NOAA graphical forecast for Hagerstown for tomorrow. It's showing NW picking up in the afternoon... looks promising for HR?
