AGP -4: Padul (Escuzar)


Sunrise in Almunecar

Finally a day which (almost) lived up to our (high) expectations: cloudless, excellent visibility, a little cold, windwise again rather tricky ;-)
We headed again for Padul; and this time I was able to launch as well: windspeed was lower, but direction unfortunately not optimal. So only local soaring with little hight gain was possible. (Even the HG's sunk out...) Andy coud topland and take our car down,

Launch (on the fire clearings)
...just a glimpse of the Sierra Nevada...
large LZ along track to launch
A HG pilot who had sunk out as well recommended 'Escuzar' as an alternative with this wind direction. Andy found very few infos about this site on the web, but no coordinates or description of access, but in the end we found the track to launch.

Escuzar
Again the wind direction was suboptimal, so only Andy flew.
