Week 1 Day 2 2012 Jaca Expedition



Another great days flying! A real wave experience with rotor climbs over the valley to 9000ft and a gentle push forward into the NNW wind and bingo! You're into the super smooth air of the wave bar. Then up to 18000ft in almost blue conditions over the valley and snowing over the mountains. It was easy to traverse from Yesa reservoir to Ordessa gorge. The temperature above 12000ft was very cold and John Simmonds had to go back to the accommodation for more clothes. The circuits and approaches would be classed as sporting or lively but everyone had enjoyed the wonderful pleasure of flying in Jaca Wave.
