Candelario and a PB for Johan (48.8km)

Weather

Heat low formed over the Peninsula with a cold front out to the west.  Winds a little stronger from the SW than yesterday, but reasonable and around 20km/hr but perhaps 40km/hr if we climb well above the inversion at 3200m and reach 4000m (potential if ground temp at 35ºC).

Trigger temp at 28ºC which may not be reached until around 1-30pm.

 

What Happened.

We  went to Candelario,,but the approaching front made the wind a bit strong from the West and upper level cloud kept the thermals low.  David, Johan and Karsten took off with Johan making it back past Villafranca with 48.8km.  We all then flew from PN, though shaded but very lifty  Christian went over the pass to beyond Munñana.
