There is a flying tip and an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)
1 November 2026
Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! :) And another amazing, good flying day in Wilderness yesterday. Sedge was great and PR for a short while. Then low clouds moved in and the playground just got a bit smaller. ;) lol We say goodbye to our course from Paraglidingisfun and Wild2fly collaboration - records were set for most flights and hours in one course in SA's history! lol ;) Well done guys. Some great flights from DTK with Scott and Wj going over 100km - 125km all the way to Piekenierskloof pass. https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:skylinker/31.10.2026/11:13 Nice one guys! And then Willie managing to fly from Rustenburg all the way to the Dam! A cool 77km https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:willie/31.10.2026/10:49 :) Lekker! Then Brazil taking top spot with 371km. https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:falko/31.10.2026/10:30 2 flights over 300km, 3 flights over 200km and 17 flights over 100km. Back to our SA weather a big CF passing by during the night effecting mainly the southern parts of the country. Still some high bases in the interior but not quite like yesterday. (Oscar Goudrian flew 850km triangle in his JS5) Some CB activity around in the interior too. For us on the coast it is a rainy start with partial clearing taking place this afternoon. There is hope - the late afternoon could be pretty good so don’t write off the day. ;) Perhaps some coastal soaring from midday/lunchtime of the rain lets up early. And then maybe some high base at Sedge later this afternoon. And of course, tomorrow is looking amaaze balls! lol (Its Monday so of course it will be good). ;) Low tide is at 14:50 and low tide around 6 hrs either side of that. Sunrise was at 5:29 and setting at 18:58. Daylight of 13 hrs and 29 min! :). Max temps today a cool 18 degrees C in Wilderness! Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember to take a moment and reflect on God - that’s really what life is all about. :) (John 10:10. Rom 10:9. Eph 4:31-32. Phil 4:8).
Todays flying tip: Most common mistake on launch I see pilots make, is they fail to dance or move to balance the glider during the pull up phase. :)
