A 1600 meter climb for Doug and Julie on their tandem can't be ignored. Yes sir, 1600 m climb. Inland flying was epic.

For the whole group, unforgetable climbs. Veru unstable weather, flying on a southern site with northeasterly winds on top. So a hot valley and a cold sky, mastered by a spanish sun, the recipe for an unforgetable thermal-day.



Today other pilots had their XC done from Reconco. Others flew (like us later in the day) relaxed near the coast. Schools were teaching their students how.

Everybody filled up their boots.


Lots of activity today. Different schools, different sites. Good friends,no hassles.



Hunky dory !!


Late in the day, it got all overdeveloped, and cumulus nimbus were forming left and right, we even had to shelter for the storm at one point. And then we found out why raincoats have to be yellow for gods' sake.
