A slow start then over the Pass

A reasonable forecast of SW with 15km/hr winds and a potential base of 3000m. V. light thermals untill we reached the quarry, all but Rob, Phil, Gill and myself downed before Casas del Puerto. We made a good climb near the cemetery then another near the Antennas, crossing with around 2400m. On crossing, the light winds in the Corneja valley switched to 25km/hr in the compression of the Pass and the subsidence area after it. P. I managed to get to the strong updrafts just near Amavida, though unfortunately the othere landed just before.
V.nice evening conditons with light thermal climbs and light winds.
