Potentially a good XC day. Some complications. 110km for Thomas.

Westlies, not too strong and base over 3000m.  However, the general situation begins to become more complex and unstable.  Likely build up of congestus and possible Cbs at the end of day especially in the convergence.   The Hirlam surface winds show an interesting convergence on the E side of the pass at 11am.  convergence later extends along the mountain range.  It may be a day to   keep N of the convergence if there is OD in the Avila valley.

What happened.

Quite an early build to congestus in the Avila valley, however, Tim and Thomas decided to cross.  Thomas making a long flight into the quartering headwind to  near Segovia
