Cerdanya

We had an uneventful trip down to Spain, arrived last night and parked the trailer at the airfield. This morning we rigged the glider and went for a little familiarisation flight. Reasonable conditions, with thermals to 3000 metres and wave over the top to the airspace limit of 4000 metres.

This does seem a dauntng place to fly. A lot of the valleys look pretty unlandable and even in the good valleys there is often a long way between reasonable options. No matter, I will just take it quietly until I know what is ahead,


So, after a few hours of exploring it was back to our hacienda (actually more like ski lodge)

With the wave still pumping as shown in the photo.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is pretty rubbish but Pete Temple reckons just ignore that, the forecast is always rubbish and there is usually some flying to be had.

We shall see.
