OK, but a bit windy from NNE

Today we have strong winds either side of us as the wind channels around the mountain range at Avila and Bejar.  The trigger temps is lower, though we have some lower inversions around 2200m early on.  Thermal heights later towards 3000m, but more so in the mountains and we will have trouble getting much above 2300m.  With a high base GOING OVER THE BACK would be a nice options, but without it then we have to accept a flight to Barco or the Tornavacas Pass with an early landing if things get windy.

We will go up at 11.15am. Briefing 10.55am
