going soft ???

It is all going soft down here. I think we are in a transition period. Young pilots trying to achieve their first big flights, last week novices did 30 km, great stuff !! But the established pilots are not seen. No words on the forums, no chats on the blogs.
I think the older generation is leaning towards playing domino's, and the younger are on the treshold of flying big stuff.

In between , now so, we have to do with daily flying. Not so epic. Medoing tandems, and my guests, topping up airtime. Building up experience in the hope they have a taster of Alicante, in the hope they look around and sense there is so much potential flying on our sites. In the hope they'll be back !

Today temperatures were up their thirties again, and meteo wind coming from southwest, which is a dry heat, very bearable. Inland, like Sierra del Carche, clouds were forming rapidly early morning. I think we need XC cracks to break records on those forgotten sites, hardly ever visited any more. Also part of this transition period, between old pilots who are bored, and younger pilots who cannot wait to put their name on the lists !!!

Be welcome to join in, exploring the older sites soon.
