Peña Rubia at first, looking for thermals in the cooking valley of Villena.
At midday winds were still west, but weak. Soon the breeze (valley breeze, sea breeze) would take over. By the time the thermals were taking over, strong gusts came from over the back.
So we had to kill time and have a meal in the sierra del Cid.
After that heading for Palomaret, waiting till the conditions died off.
At 5 took off and all was very smooth. The higher the smoother.
Looking down I could see that some were struggling at take off. Never mind, I am a strong believer in good take off's, result in good flying.
So if your take off is not 100 procent under control you shouldn't fly. You have to fly with the damn thing, the damn thing not with you. And that's what's control at take off is all about. Said and done !
Again and again, groundhandling makes good pilots.
Thermals up to 4 m/s, nice and wide for our standards. Enjoyed it.
