Brilliant. Weather forecast was scary, gusts to 70 km per hour ! Jesus.

Isobarmap was looking nasty as well. And northern winds, usually gusty and strong.

But around midday, nothing came out. All these expensive computerprogrammes analyzing satelite info had it all wrong.

No strong northern winds at all.

Flew at Agres. Invited by Hector who had permission to drive up to take off.
I called Hector to see how the wind blew this morning in his valley. He asked if we wanted to use his special permissions to drive up the hill. Great Hector, thanks.

The view during flight on this hill is astonishing. You fly above the old village Agres, and like some of us did, you thermal and circle above the castle. The sun was doing the rest. A beautiful day.

Agres is protected nowadays by the ecologists of some kind. You are not allowed to drive up no more. It is a natural reserve.
