Portmoak Expedition Thursday 19th May 19th May 2022
A day with strong thermals to about 6000ft, but badly broken by the wave. The easy option therefore was a float around the Highlands in nice smooth air. M3 got to around 13,000ft, but I’ve not spoken to everyone yet. The image above is Loch Tummel from about 8,000ft. Alastair

Portmoak Expedition Wednesday 18th 18th May 2022
Congratulations to Steve Lambourne on his Gold Height today. We all flew and some of us managed to transition into wave from the ridge and thermals. The image above is of Loch Earn from 18000ft. Expecting a thermal day tomorrow.

VGC Rally Kicks Off 15th May 2022
Yesterday the National Vintage Rally started at the Park under sunny skies and rather splendid day was had by all with Justin Wills soaring for 4 and a half hours covering 130 Km between Halesland, Salisbury and the Park and in his Rhonebuzzard (apologies if spell wrong) and justifiably being awarded a bottle of bubbly […]

Portmoak Expedition Day 1 14th May 2022
Portmoak Day 1 gave us a surprise wave day. By late morning, the Bishop was working and there were some thermals. A climb to 3500ft then allowed the classic transition to wave. The wave only went to 7300ft, which was fortunate as my oxygen was in the trailer. Alastair

Soaring Saturday 9th May 2022
A cold front cleared through a little earlier than forecast on the morning of Saturday 7th, leaving behind a crisp, clear blue sky and a light north-easterly. The cumulus started to organise while the private gliders rigged, only three club gliders (FUY, JKW and LPM) making a showing. Although tricky to get away from the […]

Today’s Flying 26th April 2022
With 40 launches today and many 100’s of km’s flown and hours logged it was a grand day, if a somewhat slow process for the thermals to get going. Climbs to over 5000ft were the norm. So congratulation go to Alan Bennet for completing a two hour flight off the winch and gaining his Silver […]
