3 flights in the afternoon:
18 minutes: It was light and bumpy and I slowly bombed out, in fact I was lucky to make the main landing as I had headed down Markus (the ridge on flyers left) and thought I was going to land behind the campsite.

56 minutes: This flight involved lots of soaring. I also had a large (60+%) frontal collapse. Finally I got a thermal and got over 900m. I ended up landing so I could get another lift to the launch. Still quite bumpy.
Andrew did a tandem with Jen.

15 minutes: Next to no lift. A little lift low down on Emilie's ridge (the one flyers right, heading towards landing)
