Difficult day, cirrus all over the sky and wind from west, meaning Chabre is no good. We went to Seredon and hoped for a task. We waited until 4 pm (I think) before window was open. Take off were in the shadow and I waited maybe 15 min when I saw little sun coming through. Although, it was difficult and I had to ridge soaring long time before I hit the thermal. I was on the course when the task was cancelled ….again, because of Nimbus a head of us. The valley floor worked very well, much better than the ridges.
Alain was one of the first one took off, meaning he was always in the shadow and in difficult situation. He landed few km away.

I landed beside the bar and main road beside bunch of pilots. Nice place to wait on the shuttle!!!(beer, shadow and nice people)
