Summer thermals, better than expected.



Was watching the Tour de France race this afternoon, before heading out to fly. Usually that means around 4.30 in the car, heading for the sites. So mostly I watch, during siesta half asleep, the most boring part of the stage. Just when I have to go it starts to get interesting as the finish gets near. Always missing it, because of course it is so flyable lets say daily from 5 pm.



But today again it was bloody worth it. Thermals up to 6 m/s tops, flying tandem. Hard work to chat with the passenger, explaining him why we turn right here, if those gusts and climbs are normal etc... etc... . Hard work because flying with a well fed man, just like me.






Yelmo paragliding film-festival down south made it again more pleasant for fly our hills. Almost nobody around, makes it all so much more stressfree, especially in summer when many visitors from all over Spain, come and enjoy the sites.
