SPC - La Palma: Torre del Time

Yesterday we also tried to make another flight: this time from 'Torre del Time'.

Pano looking South towards 'Los Llanos'

Launch was without problems, but as soon as we (Bernd and I) were airborne, it felt very 'starnge': virtually no thermals (I could make twice 2 or 3 circles) but lots of sink. Distance to the LZ in Tazacorte is only about 5.5km; with an altitude difference of more than 1100m this should be easily doable, Should . as we both didn't make it and had to land below 'Tijarafe'. A few yeras ago while flying here together with Andy exactly the same had happened :-((

Looking back to launch (in front of the tower)

Pano from Mirador del Time (looking again towards 'Los Llanos')

After having been picked up by Hartmut (which we just could 'prevent' from launching by calling him), we had a 'snack' at the Mirador.
