Thermals in Spain


June is a month when thermals can kick off too aggressive sometimes during midday hours. So we leave later in the afternoon to fly from 4 pm till late. For us till 7 pm, others will still flying.

At 4 pm, some pilots were already flying and we could tell it was not baby smooth by the pitching of their wings. But knowing this was all gonna be smoother by the minute we launched. No stress at all, conditions were a bit sporty, but lovely for those who enjoy a bit of rough edges.

There were two layers of air. The lower one was bit rocky, then you hit windsheer and then it got all smooth and effortless to get to cloudbase.

Lots of pilots do love Palomaret, and you can see again and again why. Because every day it is a different story. Everyday Palomaret offers you something new.

For those interested in the never ending story of Cabo de Santa Pola, soon I'll publish some rules. We had a meeting with the townhall of Santa Pola and with the responsable dudes of the neighbouring urbanisation. To preserve our site, to keep it hassle free, we had to agree on some rules, forwarded by us. Definetely not parking inside the urbanisation any more, and only come down and fly with license (international license permitting to fly abroad), and being insured. If I get around how to publish a pdf file here, I'll do, I just don't know how yet .... .

One things' for sure, you'll be flying Cabo with your grandsons, and grandsons, and grandsons ... forever.
