AGP -2 (Sierra de Lujar), Cerro de Itrabo

Not really good flying weather, but at least not as bad as forecasted ;-)

As the chances for good flights loooked pretty slim today, Andy and I went on a 'site'-seeing trip: Sierra de Lujar (1860m).
Calahonda
On the way we passed a possible soaring site in Calahonda; but not enough wind and not the right direction today.
Sierra de Lujar: southeast face
Although there is a paved road all the way up to the antennas, it's in very bad shape (lots of big holes) and sometimes really steep!

Up here at 1860m the wind was too strong and not from the proper direction...
The LZ would be on the beach 12km  (a 1:6.7 glide) away.

In the end I could make a sledder from 'Cerro di Itrabo', a little higher up than 'Loma del Gato', from where Andy had launched yesterday.
