My last flight before returning to the UK tomorrow. On the beach 26 deg, at 5500 feet - warmer!

This was the first time I have made it over the top of Reales mountain. Because it is a stand-alone mountain, whichever way the wind blows it is very turbulent around most of the mountain! Today, 7 mph, blowing with me as I climbed. I followed the the largest ridge on the way up, gaining lots of extra lift. Above the top, engine off and just kept climbing. The mountain is 4800 and I was taken up to 5500 by it. Took 25 minutes of engine off back to the beach, where I was still at 2100 feet. :)

Two photos on the way up and 3 from the top.

Nice bit of met experience imparted whilst also making us very jealous of your 26 degrees, glorious setting and flyable weather :-) it looks great Andy, thanks for sharing and glad you were packing in the experiences before returning to the cold and wet!  Hoping for a chance to fly this weekend, think Sat is wet for Membury but maybe Sunday....
