We got out today inland, checking sites near Carche, Sierra del Buey, Jumilla.
And we found a new one to play on.
After visiting the monastery of Santa Anna near Jumilla, we searched for a ridge facing the gusty northern winds we were having today.
And just opposite the village of Jumilla, known for its red wine and castle we found it.
A 50 meter walk up, kicking away the stones for a convenient take off. Fine, we're of in the air.
Big fun, and glad the guys wanted to make the effort.
One of my life motto's is, that pessimists always are right. Of course they are. So I try to be opposite and positive. Many times it helped us finding a site, and flying on days like this. I am sure lots are gonna be amazed about us being in the air today.
By the way, Alicante was under orange alert for having huge rains and possible thunderstorms today.
We just checked out where the best area would be from afternoon onwards, inland away from the coastal northern winds. At the new site we checked and checked if it wasn't too gusty, if there was a escape route if winds were gonna kick in fast and strong. It felt like paragliding should feel like.
