Take off Caudete


Caudete, cloudbase at 2000 m, which is a 1000 m climb. Caudete just at the border between Alicante and Castilla La Mancha.

We were there with Ismael and about 8 other pilots from all over Europe lets say.

At first, Ann was showing us the way, and was carving the sky with her Ozone Geo.

Later on we lost sight of Toni, who flew his Ozone Addict, and made a out and return to the village Villena and back.

Later on Ismael 1900 m and left upwind, trying to find XC possibities, following an easy retrieval along the highway, Alicante/Valencia.

O/vind, with his brandnew Sigma7, Kath HOOK, Frans HOOK, Jan Sport2, and Urs who left for Germany today under his Mistral4. There are no bad wings any more, all and under every other wing were having a superb day. At times smooth, at times sharp edges around the thermals.


More towards Murcia, same thing, a group of local pilots had their personal bests as well, and Dudo who is a bit of a Palo-addicto (Palo-junkie) did it again at his favourite site Palomaret and landed near Banyeres. At the cliffs of Santa Pola, others were having it more relaxed and flew too.


Who else was happy ?


Oh, bottom foto Ann, Jan, and Frans from the FREE PARAGLIDERS club from Belgium. Frans, Ann thanks visiting Alicante once again. You can only tell your fellow members what they were missing. Great flying, chill and fun.
