6 over the pass. Great conditions

Light NW winds and good climbs to 3200m today.  Even the first fligth at 11am was good enough to stay up.

Brian, Gavin, Carolyn, Tony, Nigel and myself crossed the pass.  On the other side it was N to NE below 2600m so was slow going.  We had to take a line along the river, then back to the mountains.  However, 30km from Avila a line of lift set up allowing us to fly pretty much without turning to the usual landing spot just outside the city walls.

The evening flight was excellent.  I even managed to land back on top with the tandem to do the second flight.

More good stuff to come looking at the weather charts!
