Variable winds. 3000m and super Cus

The day took quite some time to get going with very gentle and occational backwinds at launch untill around 2pm. Not much to be had on the first flight at 2 pm for most due to a passing section of Cirrus. On the 2nd flight things had really got going with the ground temp going higher and the forecast blue day to 2600m becomming a classic 3000m day with abundant Cu. Simon and I make an easy rout to N. or the pass onto the plataeu. A convergence cloud street ran to the horizon but to the NNE over a problematic area for retrieve. As the wind was light we decide to return, myself running to near the quarry on the Salamanca road and Simon a little more direct (after getting a little disorientated in cloud). We met up again just N. of Piedrahita and extended the flight for a while more to the West along the Cerro de Cruz ridge, though soon returning to land back home.
