Hello-ah !!




Tomorrow cold front passing, one day maybe bad. But that means pssible good cloudbase the day before, thats today.
So off we went chasing for the best hill to fly on. Sierra del Corque - Fortuna, it's been a while.
The group who we host this week has experience, so it should be a problem with the bit 'spanish' take off near Fortuna.
Once there it was clear, it was gonna be good. A gentle breeze up the slope, and the back the front slowly approaching.
From below came the breeze, from above came the meteo wind.
S'Hin with his AxisPara Vega2 just had the climb we all needed. One thermal with max 4 m/s got him to 2200 m ASL, which is appr 1400 meters above take off.
He looked and was invited to go XC, but the winds up high were as foreseen northwest. Northwest from the back so on our southeastern hill.
He made the good decision and on cloudbase moved towards the front. Once more down profited from the breeze again and made a nice triangle flight. Very well done.

Today you were locked to go XC. There was no clear path to go anywhere. Still S'Hin made the best out of it, congratulations.
Marcel as well, with his SOL Synergy glider, flew the longest and made a toplanding on our next hill to fly on, El Bordello.
