I was too quick yesterday. Today was probably the best day of the month october.
1700 m ASL as cloudbase and lovely climbs over Reconco. Flying with vultures, of which Ismael can tell stories.

I let the choice in the group today. Three choices, waiting for Cabo, or Palomaret again, or going adventure to another site and hoping for higher cloudbase. All fingers up, other site. Loved it.
So off to my favourite site when winds are cross ... yes I do like out southern faced hill Reconco when winds are coming in from left, northeast. It is the cold northeasterly that brings in clouds and super climbs with the southerly valley right down below baking in the early morning sun already. Bingo for all today.

Volker, Pepe and Ismael flew over the back after a 700 m climb. Didn't get very far as southwesterlies were blocking their XC attempt.

Finished the day with a lovely dark brown ice chilled drink, debriefing about how we can better our take off techniques. Tomorrow we'll work on it.
