A really solid half hour flight for my first of the year and the trip. Easy forward launch in light wind. A good amount of ridge soaring. At one point I was above launch by a fair amount! Shortly after I passed back across launch and lost a lot of height. Ended up in a ridge valley and decided to head out to the landing. Nice groomed grass. A little less space than I’m used to, but my instructors words held me safe – “hold your base” – meaning stay back until you’re ready to land.

Just caught a shuttle back up the mountain to go again – maybe I’ll make this one longer! 😛

I’ll post some GPS googly earth maps later tonight, along with store great photos.
