Spring Flying in February
Mid February we lucked out again with a stretch of warm and sunny weather and 3 fly-able days in a row. The first two days were glorious with fat smooth spring thermals. Great opportunity to take some photos of my flying friends in the air. On the third day the wind came over the back which means lee side conditions and rather torn thermals. Pete still managed an almost 40km out and return flight but reported the nastiest thermals he ever had on Bear Mountain. Outflow makes bears grumpy.
