First flight (foto 1) at Reconco. Clooudbase at 1600 m ASL, very nice thermals 4.5 m/s. Rafa out and return to San Antonio, 42 km. On the foto the transition loosing height flying direction Biscoy. You cannot loose too much height as you have to pass over the power lines. On the right you have the village Onil, with its industrial units. Nice triggers.
Then off to Carrasqueta. And scorpions ! Yes better check your gear and helmet (!) before you take off, because they love you. A scorpion on my XC trainer.
The flying in the afternoon at Carrasqueta was brilliant. Not the ordinary soaring, but thermals as well.
Foto's from Carrasqueta, over the valley overlooking Jijona, the town of the turron and the sea in the distance. Other foto looking back at the ridge where we usually only do some soaring, but not today so.
Last foto gives you an idea about the landing area. Bigger ones we don't have... .
