Flight details: | It was another good day at Algodonales, however with a bit different weather around. It was colder and thermals become stronger, but most noticeable change was to feel of air - instead of yesterday's smooth and nice and became a bumpy and rough.
Launch from easterly, move away from mountain and play in the valley, landing in main landing field. Nothing special, nothing spectacular apart from this:
- climb from 900m to 1250m was in direction of SW 15:17-15:25
- move ESE 400m and...
- next climb from 1200m to 1470m was in N direction! 15:28-15:34
Something is going on at 1200m for sure :)
Don't like bumpiness of air and thus go to land despite this tempting radio call "you are hight enough, lets go over starting mountain and further with us...".
here is flight in "lenardo way"

Question to ask - what could be use of knowledge where wind shear is? (apart from avoid it)
PS - some locals did 120k this day. I don't care :)
