West wind. Marcella over the Pass

A high pressure day with the winds now in the west, probably not in excess of 20 km inour flying levels. Good thermal quality and good potential for open XC towards Avila and beyond. Thermals to around 2500 and going to 3000m by end of afternoon in hot spots. We will talk a bit about the airspace before we go up.

Wind at take off at 10am very light NW.. so far perfect.

What Happened.

Quite sting conditions with climbs to near 4m.s.  An easy route to the Pass, but Marcella got drilled on the other side unfortunately landing near El Carrascal.
