Started Well then got too big

Classic looking forecast for Open distance with 4400m base, SW convergence. Heat low developing. Dare I say it, but a bit EPIC

Briefing at the House at 11.30am

1300hrs

1500hrs

X section over time past Segovia to 160 km

What Happened

Great Climbs to over 3000m at take off then an easy run over the Pass.  build up towards Avila made us go North past the windmills and out into the Plains.  However, it got a bit exciting so landed away from the problems well to the North.  Mike and Hans near the Windmills and JanJacob and myself somewhat further.

On our Way
