Monte Caber, near Alcoy. 1700 m cloudbase, 3 to 4 m/s climb. This must be the best day so far in March, amongst so many many flying days we had in March this year.
I left the decision in the group. Or soaring at the coast, or going for thermals inland. Unanimously, inland Nick !
So off we went, to one of my favourites Monte Cabrer. An older site, which hardly anybody visits anymore. Too bad, but on the other hand most of the time we have the whole sky for ourselves, and that's nice and comfy.
It is a lovely thermalling site, right above the wide valley of Cocentaina. At first forward launches as a must, no wind at take off, fighting to get the thermals right. But later at around 3 pm, it always becomes more easy. The colder eastern air, coming in from the sea, crawls under the warm valley air. In minutes thermals kick off and higher up our cloudbase.
Late in the afternoon, the restitution makes is difficult to get down. It is like a free bonus for everybody after 2 hours of flying.

And especially for the free paragliders movement in Belgium, one of their female members, Ann. Don't worry, she is having a blast.
The group this week, Danish, Irish, Belgian and English pilots, always international. Two Danish brothers wishing their pretty girls were here.
