A good forecast today, still with a predominantly north westerly airflow, an unstable airmass and no showers expected. The cloud base was not particularly high only about 7500' amsl which had the higher peaks of the Parcour deep in the clouds. Phil was flying with Christian again in the K21 venturing east to Blayeul before returning west onto Mountain de Lure looking for wave.
Meanwhile JB and I made our way east hoping to get to the Parcour but the wind seemed to be playing havoc with the thermals and getting back would have had us very low in dragon country and without a reliable valley breeze to make sense of where to look for a climb. So we went west instead and over to Serres, home airfield of Klaus Ohlmann, before turning south towards Mt de Lure and bumped into wave in the lee of Chabre which took us above the clouds to about 9500' and spectacular views.
