West wind. 3000m+ blue thermals

Situation

Further development of the heat low.  Today we will have more wind from the west, approx 20km/hr at take of level.  This may lighten a little late afternoon and move a little to the NW.  Thermal tops above 3000m with principally blue thermals in the plains.

What Happened

I went off early but found strong westerlies and monster climbs which was somewhat uncomfortable.  I landed at the windmill is 20km/hr wind and turbulence.  A HG pilot going off later also found strong climbs to 3500m and epic cloud streets in the  Avila valley.  You need to be a bit brave for such conditions!
