Today our flying day almost was ruined by French incompetence: we arrived at the LZ in Moustiers/ Venasque around 1300. The lady in charge told us, that (exceptionally) today there woud be a shuttle bus at 1430 going to the upper TO (Mt.Denier), as there was little wind. In order to aviod having the car on the mountain we decided to wait for this shuttle. At 1415 we were then told the shuttle would only go to the lower TO. Finally the shuttle left at 1515 :-((
The conditions on the 'Curchon'-TO didn't look very nice: almost no wind, a flat TO with lots of rocks at the end - I didn't like it at all and decided not to launch here. Se we rode the shutlle back and decided to go to Oraison (same site as yesterday).

Oraison again proved its worth as a reliable evening soaring site.
