NW wind, light but increasing a little. 3000m+

A decent day for a flight to Avila, much more maybe difficult due to the N aspect in the wind.  The wind is on the hill lightly form sun up, this means that it may get stronger at launch earlier when the thermals kick in.  Thermal trigger point at 12 is around 22ºC with very little of an inversion so climbs may go easily early on to 3000m.  Convergence over the Gredos and mostly blue thermals for us out front.  Wind is likely to be too N for going beyond Avila.   Some N, NW convergence in the Avila  valley around Muñogalindo (I will explain in briefing).

As the wind is quite square on the hill we should get excellent evening conditions and restitution.   Lucky us!

Briefing at 10am, we will go up early just in cast the wind comes on strong earlier.
