Admin Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Today being Wednesday is not good with a severe low passing through but all indications are that it will be ok for Friday, Saturday & Sunday once the low has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Except for the rain. Showers forecast for all 3 days in that area. Could be dodging wet stuff. Still hopeful though.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastmeg2 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think you guys are being a little pessimistic about the weather for the weekend, although it makes sense to if you're flying. Haven't you seen the 4 Day Forecast charts on the BOM website? I think you could not have hoped for better forecast weather . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i was thinking the same thing! looking at the 4 day charts, it looks like it will be nice weather! nice big high over the area, nice clear skies and stable air! looks perfect to me! :) even might get some goot tail winds on the way up from the south! and some nice tail winds if returning on the Monday!

Guest Fred Bear Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I know. Looking at the charts they say perfect. Satellite pic shows a different story and forecast (Sydney is no matter) so at the moment the Bureau is in a kind of "We really are not too sure, we will cover all bases" syndrome. Give them another day and I'll see what the go is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreemhi Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey Darren, I think you can count on it being perfect flying weather at The Oaks this weekend. I know this because I'll be working with no chance of flying. Now next Tuesday that will probably be a different matter, just like last Tuesday.

Ultralights Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 even with cloud cover, a high pressure system usually keeps the cloud high! and that means NO thermal heating , and even smoother air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David C Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'll be flying the Mitsubishi up the F3 to Camden Haven , so I should be ok ! Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J430 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 What about us Queenslanders............. have to lodge an IFR plan;):confused: She'll be right 500' along the beach, besides the plane needs a good wash! J;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 If anyone around the fly-in area is up bright and early on Saturday morning and has access to the forums would appreciate a post on a local pilot's perspective on the weather around Camden Haven. Might also give Ian or someone a call if a post can't be made. Forecast looks reasonable for our planned route which is Canberra across to Wollongong then up the coast. As long as we can get across to Wollongong we should be right under any cloud along the coast...we could use a wash too :) Cheers, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J430 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 you will be right, there is always a way through, well except maybe a week or so back........ See you there! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred Bear Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Looks as though there is some rain up there today? Hopefully all the guys can get out to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 yep there was abit of rain around today, but fortunately it was all coastal! i think Ian and others are overnighting tonight in Port, and waiting for the front to pass in the Melbourne area. though looking at the pic i posted, it looks like another Low in the tasman forming! might get more flooding!

Guest Fred Bear Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ross (Slaribartfast) spent the night with us there last night. Was a good excuse for chinese and a few. Dropped him back out at YHOX a few hours ago and it was not the best. Hopefully it will clear up for him some more or he will end up camping at The Masters for another night...no trouble to us. As I said to Ross, any of you are welcome if stuck there (within reason), ie not 10 plane loads (unless you like to tent it in the waterlogged yard here)! Let us know how you all progress.

Kaz Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi Darren, Canberra weather isn't crash hot at the moment, no rain but low cloud. He might be able to go around though if he stays away from the hills... a hard thing to do around Canberra! You almost ended up with Matt & I on your doorstep too! Weather around Sydney yesterday was not good! Made it home okay but the GPS track is very interesting... Catch you soon, Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Bear Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 It would have been interesting Kaz and as I said to Ross any of you any time are most welcome to overnight with us here. As long as you don't mind the old air mattress, small, house, rabbits and children :big_grin: I think Ross is still sticking it out at YHOX to see what he can do.

PaulN Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi, Gwen and I are still stuck in Port too. Looks like Thurs or Fri before heading back to Cooma, inland this time. Please keep us posted on the Canberra view Kaz and Ross. Maybe we should just move up here and be done with it :;)4:. "If you've time to spare ....." .

Ultralights Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 i love my trailer! even if it means a cruise speed of only 45 kts! funnily enough, on the road from Camden Haven to Nowra, the only rain i got was descending from Mt Ousley to Wollongong!

Guest osprey5 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Glad to hear Ross (Slaribartfast) made it to Hoxton. We were dodging the showers back from Camden to Warnervale where he dropped me off (after landing!). As for the trailer ultralights.. it may have a low economical cruise rate but I bet it can't climb! Great weekend - many thanks Ian for organising it!
