Due to the North wind today any convergence will be well behind take off and this is likely to break down later in the day.   Winds not to strong and an inversion mid afternoon around 3200m will help keep big development down till later in the afternoon.  Wind may be more to the NW and the whole scenario leaves a doubt as to what is the best task for the day.  It will really depend upon the direction early on as to the first direction we go.  Possibly it will be more NE early on changing to NW so initially flying to Barco or the Tornavacas Pass and then coming back, or going on from there.  Perhaps it will be NW by the time we get going, in which case a flight to Avila then back to the Pass.  OR, if the conditions early on are above 3500m and the wind is not too strong, then a flight over the back of the Gredos.  We will discuss these merits at the briefing.
