Strong at first, at twelve o'clock that was. 4 to 5 m/s thermals and cloudbase only 300 m above take off. Inversion, the ceiling was blocking all the thermals to punch through. No cloudbase.
Later it got a bit gusty, but died off sooner than we hoped for.

Local pilots came late, we were the only ones who got on the hill in time to get the pure thermals in.
Later on, one by one although even tricky at take off were bumming out. Cycles, good times, bad times, wasn't easy to fly it properly.

I didn't fly a lot, just preferred to have a late flight and scratch a bit. But did a whole lot of talking to several pilots. And it was so obvious again, chatting with good top pilots who are so humble about their achievements, and lesser pilots nose up, talking big stuff. Weird, it is a sport where lots of personalities have no scrupules to exagerate or to express themselves as if they know it all.
It is actually quite insulting, thinking that the other is convinced you believe him, hence thinking you are thick. But, it is never gonna change, it is a sport for ego's.

As long as everybody keeps it safe and flies within his limits. And that's actually the message Toni, our clubs' president, was briefing us through the forum lately. March and april, statistically the months where shit happens, be careful out there.

Also the time of the famous spanish fiestas start, every week something is going on. Here is a foto of the Caballos de Vino, held in Caravaca de la Cruz. Beginning of may,don't miss it.
