Scottish Nationals Paragliding Series - 2010
Aberdeen Round
From Simon Lucas
All
Current forecast for the weekend is as follows:
Fri: NNW, low cloud base, 10-15 knot 3000 ft
Sat: NNW reasonable cloud base, 20-25 knot 3000 ft
Sun: NNW, high cloudbase, 15-20 knot 3000 ft
With this forecast the plan is to base at Braemar on Fri night.
Morrone (hill behind Braemar with the radio mast) takes W-NW-N-NE Lower hills taking NW are Ben Newe (near Glenbuchat) Scar Hill (near Tarland) and Leadlich (near Tarland).
If blown out on Sat we may be able to do some sail plane tandems at Aboyne.
On Saturday there is a BBQ at Aboyne glider club, if we are going then we need to give numbers to the glider club. Alternatively we can BBQ at the cottage in Braemar.
I will be going to the cottage at Braemar on Thurs evening, people are welcome to drop by and camp (room for about 6 tents) and use the cottage facilities.
If we BBQ at Aboyne glider field then folks may be able to camp at the glider field on Saturday night and use faciltiies of the clubhouse, but this needs to be confirmed with the glider club on say Sat morning.
Please let me know by email if you want to camp at the cottage at Braemar, or if after Thurs afternoon then call my mobile. I don't have email (or internet weather forecasts) at Braemar.
