An excellent PG XC day. 100km O&R for Chinny

Light winds from the west and good climbs to over 3000m.  Perfect for a nice flight to Avila and maybe beyond, or back (and maybe back over) the Pass.  Mainly blue thermals.  A great end to a very nice week, and for those Derbyshire pilots reading this and coming out tomorrow, it is looking very nice for next week too.

What Happened.

Fantastic conditions and Avila and back for Chinny who landed back at take off after his 5 hour plus epic  – and also back over the Pass for Johannes.  More than half the group over the pass.  Excellent evening conditions and my first tandem with a parochially sighted person who seemed to love it.
