Champions at work today. Especially the newer younger pilots did very well. Alex for instance, Jose from Elche, Xavi from Javea. And then the old guys, Toni, Subi, Bartual all went XC. Some of them Villena, others Castalla, but the highest score was for Bartual at Caudete. And this from Palomaret.
Cloudbase for the best was 2200 m ASL, in airspace actually ... .
Climb up to 5 m/s.

Earl as low airtimer did very well today, he managed to get several low-saves in. Jez was getting less and less nerveus in the air. Toni, british Toni was knackered. Robert wasn't unpleased with his flight under his worn Ozone Elektron. Henrik was not unpleased to end the day with smoother air, sea breeze coming in.
Sean, just arrived, found it splendid, getting the british rust off, immediately sky-godding above hiss favourite hills around Alicante. It is his tenth time visiting us and flying in our region, each time saying 'I'll be back !'.

Home now, without helmet. I borrowed it to Toni who went XC with it. I tell you I flew a bit without helmet and it was bloody cold. Yes even in Spain up high it is cold.
