mid day

High pressure at surface level with with forecast temperature to 26ºC in Piedrahita.  The approach of a warm front which will only skim the N of the Peninsula will give us a thickening of Cirrus towards late afternoon.  Good quality thermals to 3100m and winds light westerly.   If they keep SW at altitude and are not too strong from N at Avila a good day for Segovia.

What happened?

Forecast not far off, with strong climbs to around 3500, though I possibly could have taken more but for the rough.  All of us over the Pass except for Chris.  Mike Blain and Paul at Avila and Dave and Catherine beyond at around hte 65km mark..  I took a glide to N of the lake finding lift just about everywhere.  Quite spooky flying with Altocumulus Lenticularis forming with very little wind (not over 15km in the boundry layer).  I managed to forget to turn my tracker on so no track for me.  Puri did teh driving today with Jorge doing more tests on his foot in Madrid.
