Foto is taken of a Moorish wall, aging since 1400. Stones piled up, one after the other. Rain , erosion, storms, for centuries, and all still intact.
Is this gonna be our new big landing field, see top of the foto above good old Toni ? Who knows. We climbed up the southern faces of the ridges near Crevillente. After having a Moroccon harira of course, can't be missed.
We were looking for a proper landing field, taking off on the other side of take off Hondon North. It has a 15 km ridge facing south southeast, but no-one flew it so far. So before we adventure this, we had to see how the 'topography' (hm) is near landing areas. It looks good and bad, we could meet some strange windchannels, and meet some lee thermals coming down. So have to try it in smooth conditions. Problem is retrieval, about an hour. So I don't think it is gonna be someones favourite. But we have to try it though, flying a brandnew site always is satisfactory.
