Re: [Aus-soaring] Bathurst 1000k

2017-02-01 Thread Matthew Scutter 
It was indeed a bit out of the ordinary, I wanted to do a big out and
return, then jump on the sea breeze convergence coming from Sydney as the
thermals died and do some big distance down past Canberra and back. It'd
already started falling apart around Bathurst but I found a bit of a storm
outflow convergence that got me over to the sea breeze convergence, which
was unfortunately much weaker than I was expecting. I believe it was
actually as strong as it looked, just not at the altitude I was comfortable
running it over the Blue Mountains. I turned back short of Goulburn for
1000k instead as the convergence was blueing out.

Bathurst is an odd site. 9 days out of 10 we're the last to start in NSW by
an hour, but every so often we seem to get away a good two hours before the
plains.

I think that makes three 1000's, two in standard and one in 18m.

There's some photos of the seabreeze convergence on my FB:

As well as a debrief and a clip of a landspout(?) on my page too.

Nice one Matthew.
Seems a bit out of the ordinary... How many thousands have been done out 
of Bathurst?

Light-heartedly,
