Clearing skies and dropping winds with c8500ft thermal tops. Excellent conditions

1200

1500

3 day forecast

Passage of cold front throught the Peninsula which should leave us by mid morning with a rapid drop off in wind speed and thermals to around 8500ft. If we fly it may be one of the few places in Europe that it is possible today. Tomorrow light E winds and more sunshine.

What Happened?

A very nice day with 3 thermic flights with perfect Cu and unturbulent climbs. I had a good climb at the Cemetery which could have taken me over the Pass and probably an easy trip to Avila. Our low airtime pilots very much made the most of the day with local soaring and a number of trips to the Villfranca/Cemetery.

Alex on his HG managed to take out another 2 uprights but survived yet another flight. I flew him on the tandem in the evening.
