Flying over Carrascoy. No local pilots to be seen, only Pani who I called to do my tandemflight. Strange, lately we have been flying a lot on our own. Few local pilots. A pity because it is always nice to share our flights with my buddies from Murcia, Alicante.

Windy in Alicante, northwest, that's why we left for Murcia, And spot on. When we arrived we just had to wait till the sun burned through the clouds just above take off. The valley meanwhile warming up, as that was in sun since early morning. Promising.

Just had to wait till those first breezes came on the hill. Bingo at 1 pm there it was.

Smooth air, pilots hesitating to take off. But they didn't know the magic of this mountain yet.

Just fly towards landing field, try the house thermals above the farm, stay in 0.5 m/s lift, the cycle will get stronger. So did Johan and Anders (Swedish), and both topped at 500 m above take off. Then Ron, with his old beaten up UP Makalu. Again, top of the stack ! Imagine Ron you have a shiny new glider, last generation... .

Then at last our polish friends arrived after an unfortunate breakdown with their van.

Winds picked up, easier to get above take off now. Speedbars ready for the end of the day ? Yes sir. Because last hours sometimes those winds pick up at Carrascoy and form a 'wave'.

Excellent, all down with a lovely sunset on their side.

Just got home, 7.30 pm, still 18 degrees outside in El Altet where I live. And this with a cold front passing through, cold ? front ?

Toni, thanks being here again, see you in 10 days for another week of flying in Alicante, Mr Mr Boomerang.
