Clouds and Vultures

Busy on the hill must be 50 + pilots

On the way to "twin peaks"

Plenty of lift, gliders and vultures

Flying the street back towards Lijar

With a light SE on the cards we headed up the mountain where we arrived at launch to find it BUSY in fact very busy. Still the sky was working with nice cumulus around and plenty of gliders showing the lift although it was still possible to go down if you caught the wrong cycle.

Kaz got off first and climbed out from launch before heading out to play withsome thermals before going into land as she was still under the weather. I had a super flight although getting pretty low to start with before climbing out and working my way to "twin peaks" where I spent an hour or so flying with the vultures before heading back to Lijar. The wind had veered to the west so after playing with the clouds over the hill I top landed so making sorting the vehicle easy.
An evening flight off the west launch was on but we turned it down as still pretty tired from travelling. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
