And it was XC day today. Per, who arrived yesterday made his 40 km light from Caudete, more pilots from Palomaret made 85 km, almost cross to Valencia. Cloudbase was predicted 2000 m at Palomaret, and more inland. Tim can tell, he screamed in his radio from sheer pleasure.
So all came out.
Unfortunately part of the group was not ready for this stuff. Crosswind at take off, and here and there a collapse made them hesitate to fly. As a guide you should never ever push anyone to fly in sportive conditions. But it was typical Caudete flying, winds bit from southwest, opening thermals in the valley and XC along the highway of Valencia.
