After plenty of 55km flights to Avila this year, Hans made a big flight of 115km with a climb of over 4000m in the approaching front line. As the shadow of the front and wind came in from the west it kicked off a line of lift ahead of it which we were able to fly fast and without turning for a glide of around 60km + after the initial struggles in quite stable conditions.
