The season is coming to an end here, still a few pilots about & the possibility of some good flights, but generally overdeveloping in the early afternoon & a west wind beginning around 12 & getting strong until 4. Manali could still be possible with the right start.

I’m going to Kenya soon to fly & safari. I realise that 99% of bloggers are writing to themselves & I find it easier to talk to myself than write, so unless someone wants to read this rambling it’s going into limbo for the next undetermined time.

enjoy life!!

Some good flying lately - personal records & site records & the Indian record have all been broken in the last week or so. Debu flew 211km for a national record.

There have been good days & windy days interspersed  with non-flying days, the trick is to decide in the morning which it’s going to be.

Finally the sky is blue, the sun is shining & the mountains are glistening in the sun.

The flying, alas wasn’t so good, there, were 2 inversions, the higher at 3,200m & it was pretty bumpy, a few nice thermals, but many not very nice ones.

a bit of alto cirrus all day, weather from the north again?

the weather here is still crazy, storms & snow that normally happen in Jan or Feb are happening now.

there have been a few flyable days & Debu made a new site record from Bir (180km) but there still hasn’t been a “topless” day. I think the max altitude this season has been 4,300m or so. And it’s stormy today.
