Declared goal 107km Olmedo to NNE.

As the wind was over the back at PN we decided to try a new take off across the valley at Tortoles.  3 flew, but with no success whilst meanwhile the wind came onto PN.  Taking off around 5 pm we still persisted with our goal with myself, SinGas, Ralph, Fred and Mark able to fly perhaps legs of over near 40km without turning in the convergence and getting to 3600m.  The goal had been set where RASP indicated the covergence ended.  Unfortunately, due to the late hour our final glides left us all a little short of Goal, with Mark getting within 2km.  A great day with amazing flying.  A shame we could have not got away half an hour earlier and I am sure we would have all made the goal.
