Hard work but rewarded

Early morning at cliffs Santa Pola. Sea strong at first, then nothing. Didn't feel like waiting, for good times bad times. So I asked my buddies if they wanted to go walkabout and find a site inland.
Luckily all said yes. So off we went for Reconco, where at first the gusts were nicely on the hill, pinetrees smelling as if slowly burned, summer was around kicking off those valley thermals.
But we were expecting northeasterly winds. So bits later we had to move on to San Antonio, winds off, too east and weak.
Rewarded though later when all of the group made little XC's upwind, flew into the clouds, eared it down etc... . Playground for the big boys.



Leanord with his shiny Apco.



Morning flights in the sun.



And Ronny once again the most far, landing on the roofs of Agost ???



Ronny, Sven, Rolf and Leonard, no stress just bring us to the right place !



Just got a call from Pepe, he flew a 30 km out and return at Palomaret, last site we visited today.
