NE winds and a little lighter. Flights down to Tornavacas Pass

Potentially not a bad day.  We continue with the NE flow,   Once again an inversion , the not so abrupt, at 2600, but climbs to c3000m should deb possible later in the day.  The wind maybe light enough to take the NW track of yesterday (see track log and map below).  this would take us clear of the more difficult landings.  However, we may be obliged to go to the Cherry Tree valley.  Most probable take off at Peña Negra today for the XC flight.

What Happened

Nice gentle conditions but not much of a ceiling.  Most of the group around Barco, though a number of us carried onto he Tornavacas Pass.  It was a bit stable to venture  beyond down there amongst the cherry trees though.
