group : Ian Brit, Pia and Robert Sweeds, Egi half-legal Austrian/Italian living in Norway, Francoise and Charles French, Eric Californian USA. Landing beer.

I don't know how and why we deserve this. Amazing weather. Temperatures in their twenties. Two sites flewn today. Magnificient views.

We left early for Benidorm, and had some flights 'with a view', overlooking the high rise of our local 'Blackpool - Blankenberge - Le Touquet - Las Vegas'.

Sea was getting nerveus though, so we hoped for a seabreeze that would get us higher, playing. But no, half hour later all was too smooth again. No breeze.

Message from Dudo, inland was working. Yihaah !
Lets go, pack up, lets join them.
Once arrived we saw Dudo, Imre, Pepe, Alex and Cordian already in the air.
But the big time was over. We all had our flights in, soaring above the crest, but the best time to fly had passed.
Dudo enjoyed a 6 m/s thermal (december !!....) and got to 1600 m ASL, which is almost 800 m ATO. Fantastic.
NW-TM !
ASL = above sea level
ATO = above take off
NW-TM = no worries - tomorrow more
