NE wind and trips to Barco

Situation

The upper level  trough  has moved through leaving high pressure at lower levels and a N to NE flow in the convective layer.  around 15km/hr at take off level and 30km/hr at 3000m.   A marked inversion at 2600m.  Probable climbs later in the afternoon to c3000m.

A reasonable XC day flying towards Barco/Plasencia with all the excitements of the Cherry Tree Valley  and the Tornavacas Pass.

Easterly winds if strong can be a problem here.  See https://vimeo.com/64294975 for my explanation.  Forecast today is light so it should not be a problem

What Happened.

Not an atypical day for a E component.  Many in Barco, a few beyond towards the Tornavacas pass, but base not so high and the wind a bit to strong.
