96km Out and Return towards Avila for 4.
Situation
Similar to yesterday with the Azores high and heat low. Winds variable but perhaps more westerly at 2000 to 3500m, which will be our main flying level. We could go for the Pass and Avila today and perhaps a return for those with stamina. High quality day with good thermals and perfect for a big circuit flight. Once again a slow start, but perhaps a little earlier than yesterday. c1.30 rather than 2pm.
What Happened.
excellent day and conditions with Bryan, Nigel, James and myself going to near the Y junction short of Avila and then back to Piedrahita. Tony and Gareth towards Avila at 44km and Claire a bit further on. Graham also went over the Pass, then back beyond Piedrahita then landed at home.

Well done Claire and James, shame it was not the golden 100kms O/R. Assume the new glider goes Ok then James?
Come on you Malvern boys Gavin, Tony etc pull your finger out, a London softie out flew most of you. Only Bryan and Nigel to keep him honest (-; (-; Cheers. Rob Couper
