Where to HG this weekend.....

Post by Lostgriz »

I don't know many of the local sites, but despite the beautiful weekend, it doesn't look like a great flying forecast. Anyone see something that looks good? I was thinking Ridgely, but XC skies didn't look too promising.

Matt,
Saturday looks better than Sunday at Highland however it'll likely be blowing hard. If it's more east then north it will be ok except for the fact that you'll basically be blown to wye mills. If there's a strong north component it will be scary towing because of the rotor off the trees.

I may go anyway but am not optimistic.

Bills Hills looks doable for Saturday with a good thermal forecast according to NoStepper.

Hope you guys get good flights. We bought a camp trailer a month ago and are going to take it for a test run tonight.

Cheers,

Matt
