A much better day than forecast even though the general cloud base was much lower than previous days. The conditions to the north precluded any flights in that direction so both gliders headed east to enjoy the motorway of the Par Cours in a southerly direction. Matt J and Jon B had almost identical flights with Merv demonstrating how to get to the Gorge de Verdun without turning and Matt and Jon both flew back to Serres also without turning (they are both fast learners)
In Jon's words it was 'awesome!!'

Ken S and G flew o/r to Puimoson and then with Dave T G turned the gorge but decided to route back via Sisteron just as the day was bluing out and the thermals were getting scarce, fortunately the wave was setting up and a rotor thermal climb saved the day.

Total flight time 12:09
