An early start around 11.15 with the usual perfect Cu filled sky all going wrong by 1pm. Great flying for the short period, though staying local and comming back to the Piedrahita landing.

A great looking day but just too much build up of congestus in the Avila Valley to go over the pass. Every body had an easy time in the house thermal over the Chalet. Simon and I crossed the valley to Malpartida and back, though I landed short of town at the old HG landing […]

A light wind launch at around mid day, with early Cu development and easy climbs and local flying around the mountain and Piedrahita for most. By the time we got back for the second flight there were a number of congestus clouds both to the E, and and N so we decided to drive down. […]

The wind was on and good at Peña Negra when we arrived this morning, though waiting for it to improve was a big mistake as it slackened and went SE. Very frustrating as at this time the sky was looking very good to the West. A drive to Chia and some reasonable soaring had by […]

We decided to go straight to La Lastra, and all those who took off were quickly near base and on transit to some perfect streets over the back. Unfortunately Brian and Nick dropped out after around 15 -20km but after getting a little low nearby, Simon and I had a grand time cloud hopping to […]

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 […]

Wednesday and Thursday gave us excellent thermal conditions with climbs of up to 7m/s and excellent Cu filled skies with less depth than the beginning of the week. Thursday evening we changed sites for the first flying at Lastra this year. However, Untill Sunday things are a bit grim, though next week is looking really […]

Yesterday was nice, though today a real spring day with perfect Cus for much of the morning with abundant strong climbs. Yesterday we finished with a little adventure. Grita managed to land on top near the Corals on the evening flight, just 30mins before sunset. Luckily she had a torch and managed to get to […]

A few nice flights today, but always with the threat on the Cus growing to tall. We landed around 4pm with plenty of margin before the storm.
