The morning after.
Due to the influence of three beers while writing the Daily blog last night I just kept clicking correct with the spell checker. So I now feel the need to make some early morning corrections to the names of different hills and mountains that we visited yesterday to ensure the authenticity of this report.

Malaup is a hill about 10km North of the airfield and is a common place to tow to when there is a southerly wind. With the strength of the wind yesterday it meant the you were very quickly out of gliding range of the airfield and it is not until you are climbing near the top can you see the next airfield at La Motte-du-caire

Serres is an airfield about 25km North west of Sisteron and it is operated by the legendary German pilot Klaus Ohlmann. It certainly looked like the takeoffs would be interesting yesterday with two large hills up wind of the airfield.
