Black Mountains Gliding Club

With soarable conditions on most days, we have longer average flight times than any other UK club, and for the experienced pilot we can offer ridge runs and wave flying in almost any wind direction and excellent cross country options. For the less experienced, we offer training at all levels from ab initio to advanced wave and hill soaring. Training on weekdays can be booked through the club office.

In a northerly wind the ridges work from Hay Bluff down into the Brecon Beacons, and beyond for the more adventurous and experienced hill pilot. NW winds give wave over the Wye valley. Easterly wave occurs in the Cwmdu valley. High climbs are possible in SW wave over Brecon, Llangorse and sometimes, when in phase, in the Golden valley to diamond heights.

The club fleet consists of two K13s, a K21, a Junior, a K6 and a Pawnee tug.

The next Committee Meeting of Directors will be held at the BMGC clubhouse on Saturday 17th May at 17:00 hrs. Members are welcome to attend. An agenda will be tabled at the meeting. added: 9 May 2008
