10 consecutive flying days for our first group of the year

Our first group of the year from Holland enjoyed 10 days out of 10 for their flying week, kicking off our season with flying clients. A mix of conditions throughout the week, with good unstable light winds early on, though a little stable over the last 3 days. Today we went to Chia, one of our southerly take offs. Conditions were a little turbulent early on, but around 5.30 I encountered large scale restitution climbing some 600m above take off and finding lift all over the valley in front. The take off at Chia is rather shallow, which made it difficult for some members of the group to get in the air. I finished the day with a ridge run and flew some 10kms along to Garganta de Villar.
