More NW and a bit windier. Chiny to Avila

Relative low pressure due to the heat low over the Peninsula, but in general good thermal  soaring conditions and the slightly more northern flow will make it less turbulent on the hill and give us a better evening flight.  Thermal conditions similar to yesterday but the wind being more N will probably keep us this side of  Avila.  Quite cool temperatures still, tomorrow getting warmer, but also some cool air coming in at higher levels from the N.  The latter should keep far enough away from us, giving the Pyrenees and NE storms.

Wind on take off at 9  am is a very light NW

What Happened

Nice conditions early on but climbs only to around 2300m.  Myself and many decided to land before the Pass as it looked to be getting a bit strong.  Chinny and Frank went over ,  Chinny getting to near Avila but stopped by the N wind.
