Track time to Segovia

Passage of weak cold front yesterday cleared the air giving us greater visibility and improved thermal conditions.  The heat low seems to be displaced further to the E and today the winds are lighter, probaby going more north towards the end of the day.  Cloud base around 3000m with some risk of overdevelopment if we look at the Skew T (max temo 25ºC).  High pressure comming in in typical summertime pattern so we are looking v.good throughout next week.

Today convergencde likely in the Ambles Valley and an good chance for flight to Avila.  Maybe Segovia if overdevelopment does not impede us nor a N at Avila.

Suggested time to go up hill around 11.45, briefing 11.15.

10:50

Wind light NW  at P:N.   Good Cu development in valley by 10.30 though not far off hill top.  I needs to rise a fair amount.  Typical day with easy agreeable thermic conditions.

23.50

Steve and passenger crossing the pass.

Well, it was a good day, with good climbs and a 4/8 Cu filled sky.  Myself on a commercial tandem over the pass with Mike and Rod.  Mike had a big blow out near base at the Pass which gave his Airwave Sport 3 a cravat.  He dealt with it nicely though.  My passenger had had enough with the cold etc so we went down to land near Amavida.   Rod nearby and Mike at La Torre.

Another early start to the airport tomorrow.
