AGP -5: Padul (Escuzar, Loja-east)

Again very hard to 'read the wind': most apps forcasted something like N or NE, so we decided to drive towards Granada again.
Padul looked flyable, so we stopped there first. But the windspeed was much lower than anticipated, so nothing else than straight 'top-to-bottom' for me :-((



Next stop: Escuzar (where Andy flew yesterday): little wind, very cross  so I didn't even attempt a sledder.

We then continued towards Loja: the east face of the Sierra de Loja looked flyable and Andy had a relatively good flight, even with some thermals.

...that's how the wind sock is supposed to look...
Loja -east: pano looking towards Granada/ Sierra Nevada

So after Andy's flight we drove up again.

Very nicely groomed launch!
...and that's how it looked when I was ready...
 So after about 15mins waiting/ hoping for head wind, we quit and drove down again.
