Alicante paragliding Peña Rubia

Chris, Doug, Julie, Cookie, Stevie and Norris after their flights at Peña Rubia. Where Magne (not on foto, still flying ..) registered 8 m per second thermals, and found cloudbase 600 meter above take off.

But soon it was time to get down to earth and chill as cumulus were towering around us.

Later in the day we had tremendous lightnings. Huge discharge cloud to the ground. Elecrical charge travelling from cloudbase (negative charged) to the ground (positively charged). Brilliant jagged bolts between sky and ground.
It is said that if your hair should begin to stand 'punky', it may mean that you are in the near distance of a positively charged area, risking to be hit by a strike. Auch. So cut your hair.
