West, a bit stable early on- 3 over and Nigel 42km out then back-
We are still under the influence and protection of the atlantic high with a ridge at higher levels giving reasonable flying conditions. today it should be hotter, and although there is a marked inversion early on around 2600m, later in the day we should go to 3000m plus with blue thermals.
Wind in the west, so a flight towards Segovia, though we are likely to find N winds low down towards Avila. Avila goal would be a good flight today.
What Happened.
Nigel, David, Nige P and myself over the Pass with all the others succuming
short of the pass in the quite difficult light conditions early on. Nigle best who battled the N to 42km then back to the Pass and although tired multiple attempts could not return. About 5.5 hrs in the air though!
