20km W at 2500m, going NNW.

Raining hard at 8am, but the cold front had passed by mid day, leaving blue skies with some nice Cu and increasingly strong climbs (to around 3.5m/s). Very cold early on, so some chose to land around Piedrahita as at time the base was a little low to go for the pass. Brian, Noel and myself rode a street of strong lift about 10km up wind and flew around the center of the valley till burstin bladders made us land (too much drinking coffee and tea earlier in the mornin whilst waiting for conditions to clear). We did another flight from the curve around 4pm finding strong lift but more N. An evening fight for Graham, Ian, and Kevin. I flew Jorge on the tandem as Noel offerd to drive down. A good day for Mark with around 2 hours and some very nice thermal climb outs.
