Mega conditions. Ligth winds to Cu at 4000m. 100km for Jakub

A fantastic day with hardly any wind but big easy climbs to 4000m. Fantastic Cu in streets along the Ambles valley, but we turned at the Pass. Paul Russell, veteran of Piedrahita of about 15 years and our very best client, headed along back to the NW along the N side of the valley with me. I had a commercial tandem customer, by this time shivering and quite fazed out. On reaching the Salamanca road I flew south to Piedrahita to land after 2.5 hrs. Paul and Jakob and Wouter carried on to Barco, Paul arriving back form there about the same time as I landed around 6.30 after another tandem. An epic day for most. Jacob made 100km, going from the Pass, to Piedrahita, to Barco, back to Piedrahita, and then back to Barco. Time went over he pass, then to Barco, then back to Piedrahita. See his flight on //xcc.paragliding.pl/module.php?id=21&l=pl&contest=PL&date=20100911&reference=bf2bd6c4e35e33df
Another exceptional day forecast for tomorrow, though I will be spending it in Madrid doing airport runs. I hope Pete and Paul will make the most of it.
