Jaca 2011 Saturday March 5th

Another good day with thermals to 9500ft, both gliders ranged over the mountains to the north and south of the valley. Close up views of migrating storks, mountain climbers/skiers and high altitude deer were had. John Simmonds experienced his first field landing in Spain with a lovely field in the valley right next to the road back to Santa Cilia Aerodrome. Much banter from the French instructor Vincent was all taken in good part. Tomorrow looks like another good thermal day. Day 1 of the expedition is eagerly awaited
