There is an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

25 April 2024

Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! Lots of well wishes to Pieter and Leon - both in for ops (Leon for his hearnia and Pieter for his ankle) which will put both of these keen pilots out for a while. ;) What a beautiful flying day at Segde yesterday. everybody was out there playing in the smooth air - even if the base was low and the thermals weren’t going anywhere. ;) lol. The students loved it for the time that it worked. Lekker. The good news is that today is even better. :) A light CF brushed past since yesterday and we have a sweet deep unstable layer all over the southern parts of the WC. Average around the 4500-6000ft deep in the good spots. Lots of Q's around and the winds are light to moderate with a southerly surface flow - a few SW trending spots and with height it does go more SW and even west further in the interior. From the larger mountains and further back conditions are very good for flying and my pick will be DuToits southern side where you will have access to the relative flats to the north where you have more height to play with. :)) But Gisbert's choice of Tol-huis is a good one so that logistically you are covered - flying to the west with base  around 4-4500ft should be great fun and it’s an easy return to where you started and light hike back to the car. ;) No 4x4ing needed. lol. The conditions on the south of the Outies will deteriorate rapidly after lunch when the sea breeze and much lower clouds move in so do go early. Of course, for those not being able to go anywhere Sedge is a good alternative. The spot says climbs to only 1000ft, but I think you could reach 1500ft in the good bits and if you are lucky even more (but that is a very small window to catch that bit) ;) lol. More Q's shaping up in the afternoon too. The coast looking a tad on the light side but probably doable - I think during the morning we probably will get more than they predicted but the afternoon things drop on the coast, so the inland sites are where it is at. ;) An awesome day up in Gauteng - hope those guys do some distance! and a bit more wind tomorrow for us but still flyable. Sweet stuff! ;) Enjoy and do remember to take the time to get closer to God. That's what life is really all about. :)) (John 3:16, Gal 5:13-26)
