Weather
Weather conditions, and prevailing wind in particularly,
is the key to a successful flight. Before setting off to you
favourite slope soaring venue, check that the weather
conditions are suitable. To gain lift from a slope, you will
need the wind to be blowing towards, and therefore up the
face of the hill.
The strength of wind required will depend on the size and
weight of your glider, and judgement of this will come with
experience.
