Classic Day. Light SW, tops over 3500, 103 for Paul

High pressure over the peninsula with a heat low forming.  A rise to temperatures not experienced for a week or so and light winds from the SW.  This is a great day for xc towards Avila and maybe beyond.   Light winds will give N at Avila, so will be possible to fly back to the Pass or maybe find for a flight to Segovia.

Briefing at 11am.  We will cover airspace issues in this direction.  A bit later than normal for first day but we are awaiting Laurence who arrives on the 10.45 bus.

What Happened.

Great days flying with good climbs, nice Cu, though a little too much spread out in the Avila Valley caused things to get slow.  For that reason some landed in Avlia for a bit of tourism.  Only Paul went onto 103km , a bit short of Segovia.
