Anyone flying?

Post by Ashley Groves »

I am thinking Ridgely if the winds are not too strong on Sunday or possibly pulpit on Monday (not sure if I can swing it), could be an occluded front.

I will be heading to one of the flight parks - will decide which one in the morning. S winds under 10 at both... could be a toss up.

Craig just called me. He's leaving Ridgely. He advises me that Highland has declared it to be blown out.

Ridgely today was strong but not ridiculous.
Had a couple of flights

Monday:
I am thinking it will be good at pulpit but light winds will make ridge soaring unreliable, thermals only.
Ridgely also very good (even better), but not thrilled with the idea of the bridge crossing home.

Anyone heading out?

Re: Anyone flying? - Pulpit Today

Post by Dan T »

Several PGers are heading to the Pulpit. It looks to be sweet for both wings to me. The pulpit almost always blows stronger than forecast. Good XC potential.
