After yesterday's frustration, today was nothing short of epic! All boxes ticked on the paperwork side so I was able to join the grid and go and fly. It was a little tricky to get away and there was a fair bit of engine noise in the valley early on. I had to take 2 launches to get away but once connected in a thermal the lift was stupendous! JB waited patiently for me and soon we were heading off to the south east and the mountain stepping stones that would take us to the Parcour. A north south orientated line of mountains that is almost the equivalent of a gliding highway, with lots of traffic and where the Flarm really comes into its own.

By 1630 the forecast frontal rain showers were appearing just to the west of La Motte du Caire and a mad dash back to the field ensued, with big drops starting to fall as we were landing. Looking forward to tomorrow even more!
