The mistral started clearing away the grotty weather late on Thursday, and Friday started with bright blue sky but with high cirrus already moving in. The wind was only 10 to 15 kts but was enough to make the northwest facing ridges work, create weak wave and areas of strong sink.
We slowly worked our way west from la Motte and then north past Siteron, Serre and Aspre and unsuccessfully tried to find the wave in the lee of Pic de Burre. Giving up in the hunt for wave, M5, went south again onto Montange de Lure and then followed the ridge out west to Mount Vantoux before returning to the Lure to join JB in KJW and climb in wave to 11000'.
