Overdevelopment forecasted and bloody right it was.
It is May, springtime, and we are aware of strong conditions. There was early development over our high mountains like Monte Cabrer, and Sierra de Aitana. No good. Stayed on the ground, focused on other things.
I get messages from different flying regions. Accidents. Typical for this time of the year. Monte Grappa - Bassano, Oludeniz Turkey, Vosges France, Annecy ... .
Rusty pilots, strong spring conditions. Man, man , man. Be careful out there. Leave it till later in the afternoon, when things die off. Or don't fly, it doesnt' matter.

We fly all year round in this region, and this for more than 8 years. We do have hundreds, over a thousand hours of airtime in this region only. Our region is southeast on the Iberian Peninsula, and things can be bloody strong here. Conditions can be very punchy, very strong. For XC you have to be good, we deal with valley winds, leesides, windsheer all the time. So we know, that's why when it is strong, we sit it out.
Not having fear, but having loads of respect. If you come down to us, we like to guide you all in the most safe way. And so is the attitude of my local flying buddies. I hope you can blend in.

Every flight is like winning the lottery already, so we don't need to push it. Our aim is to fly as much as we can in safe conditions, not pushing it, and having the most fun. See you all soon. Yihaah !
