Tough first day for our Intro XC course this week, strong SW across the hill made things tricky but the guys still managed close to an hour in a stable, breezy busy sky.

11/09/2026

Well we tried, last day of the last Pure XC for 2026. The group that remained after the bad weather waited for the ground to dry out a touch and base to rise and the first round of spread out to dissipate.

However it wasn’t to be. We tried WM, Casoni then off to Marostica but the spreadout reared its head again and sent the whole area in shade. Not to my surprise really as the SkewT predicted it.

Day cancelled :(

Another big day out with the group this season, been nonstop tbh. Strong pilots have listened over the years and now putting what we teach into practice. Consistently.

We are entering the final weeks of the season here in Bassano, just to let you know that we currently have just one spot available on the Last INTRO TO XC / THERMAL course for the 19th - 26th September.

Learn the foundational skills to get you up to speed for those long XC flights we've been cracking out all Summer.

From SkewTs to first XCs.

Another smashing day in the PreAlps, we set a 110km cats cradle. First to the WM, then off to Caltrano, from there we used the forecast strengthening SW wind to blow us to Revine to finish on 95km.

Myself, Rod and Sidney completed the mission in just over 4,5hrs with and average of 21kmh, despite the ultra slow start and getting very stuck on the Lunga. Yours truly dived across the Brenta with a 1000m Hail Mary, fortune favours the brave.

With the 12-15kmh tail wind we cruised onto the Cesan and methodically stepped up to base at 1800m, pure theory, from there we glided to goal and an aircon’d retrieve to the pub!

07/09/2026

A great day in the PreAlps, We set a 60km FAI, first out towards Tomba, then back across to Lusiana then out into the flats for 2 low saves and Cassola in the pocket.

Goal, well done to Sydney, Rod and Austin. Awesome average speeds and lines, great to see it come together.

Something exciting tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Another tricky, windy day on the front ridge of the Alps. Forecast said wind was dropping at 1430hrs and we got off in good time at around 1500hrs. The route was a simple 45k FAI.

First to Tomba, then out in the flats then off to Rubio aerials then home. A good effort all round but it wasn’t to be. The wind had flushed all the hot air from the flats, together with the dry heavy air and high pressure we needed it to come on earlier.

Great effort from Sydney & Rod who dribbled on the light climbs almost to goal. More tomorrow.

04/09/2026

Tricky day on the front ridge, started blue and stable. Strong, rough conditions greeted us. We knew the day from studying the road map to space, the SkewT.

The route was set, 60k FAI, just passed Tomba, Lusiana then Cassola and home. Most pilots reported strong, challenging conditions but Turnpoints were tagged and the flats attacked.

The heavy layer on the mountain was noted and this layer marked the flatland height. Was pretty much spot on.

Well done on the group closing the 58km FAI and making retrieves super easy, a great end to a great week.

More Sunday.
