Rob, Jack
& I had such a great time last October when we visited The Bwlch in South
Wales for some serious slope soaring & plenty of well needed stick time that we decided we should arrange another trip to the 'Valleys' this Spring.
Rob
sent out an email last year asking whom from our merry band of slope soarers
where Interested in making another visit in the spring of 2014. Back then Rob
had a good response with a number of you showing Interest.
I
have now started planning our ‘Spring Road Trip’ for mid March / mid
April and need to get a handle on who is serious about coming along to enjoy
the beauty and wonders of the Welsh valleys. The trip would be from Friday to
Sunday. Leaving early on a Friday morning and getting up to the valleys around
13.00hrs. Hopefully the weather will play ball and we would go up and fly on
the Friday afternoon. Fly all day Saturday and hopefully Sunday morning and
return home on Sunday afternoon. This should provide you with some serious
stick time going on what flying we did during our last visit.
These
slopes offer slope soaring in virtually any wind direction and at over 1800ft
these produce some incredible lift.
During
our last visit we stayed at a very reasonable hotel based near Bridgend (Sarn)
which was about 8 miles down the valley from the flying slopes. Looking at
prices you can get a double room but with single occupancy for £40 per night
plus £6 for breakfast or £92 for the 2 nights. The accommodation was very
comfortable and clean. When I have numbers I will make all the necessary
arrangements / booking etc.
If you
are Interested and want to be Included in what should be a very enjoyable
flying visit to South Wales then please let me know ASAP with any specific
dates you can or cannot make from mid March to Mid April 2014.
I will
then arrange a meeting in February where all Interested people will be Invited
to hear more about the place, the times, the costs etc......
If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me (either email or call me).
