Finally conditions have improved! Today I could make a nice flight together with Vincent in the Chamonix area: taking-off at Plan Praz (below Brevent) then west to Passy; turning at Varan and landing in Chamonix (Savoy) after 1hr 45min :-)) Rather surprisingly I had been able to keep up with Vincent on the transitions: speed- and also glide- wise.
Vincent: thanks for showing me the way ;-)
Launch at Plan Praz
le Brevent
Planz Praz (looking East): Argentiere

heading towards Passy
Plaine Joux (Passy): launch (where we have flown yesterday)

Heading back to Chamonix...
Chamonix: LZ Bois du Bouche (left lower corner); LZ Savoy: field on right side
And to finish off a very nice day: a 'typical' French dinner (Cote de Boeuf) in the company of Claire and Vincent.
