Hi Folks, 

 

It's been a while, but  ... ...

 

Tomorrow (Saturday ) is looking pretty good.   Met wind at around 20 mph (WSW),  so thats clearly the main issue.  There should be no significant wind gradient, right up to BL Top.  And moderate strength thermals.   Reasonably sunny with good Cu with base at between 4000 and 5000  ft.   Dungavel seems the obvious choice to me . 

 

 Up to Peebles it looks pretty straightforward. Its a bit more complicated towards the  E  coast, but I'd guess we dont want to spend  all evening collecting folk from afar, when there's BBQing to be done !

 

I realise that it isnt "a thing" anymore, so this'll be my last Weather Update, as Ive decided, after 31 years of coaching pilots, to hang up my Senior Coach Licence.

 

Hopefully, see you, tomorrow at Wiston Lodge at 12.  

 

See ya

 

David

Thanks Dave

You’ve done so much, and I think we’ve all appreciated your coaching and weather forecasting skills.

Enjoy ‘retirement’ .

 

Great memories of my first xc from Dungavel. Have fun tomorrow everyone. I’m miles away in Inverness now so won’t be joining you –pity.

 

Best wishes

Stella

Thank you David for all the forecasts you provided over many years. Winning the bbq Cup this year was well deserved. No one has yet stepped forwards to provide a similar service on Telegram. HINT HINT
