Day one was sunny and started with very light SW winds that took a while to creep above the minimum. When the wind did pick up the slope lift was not so good and the thermal influence was pretty severe.
The leader board is a mixed bag. Pierre Rondel escaped the worst of it, as did Mike Shellim and Inaki Elizondo. The forecast today is for more wind and less sun, which should flatten things out a bit but for some of us the damage is already done!

La Muela - Day 2
Another fun day before the Eurotour event starts tomorrow. Just about everyone turned up today, along with the usual bunch of parapentes. Largely thermic conditions were fun but not great for practice.
Depending on which local you talk to you can pick the forecast of your choice. We will see; all I know is I have to get up at a time that should be reserved for working or going to airports...
