YM about to launch us in Vinon.

 

Medium-level instablility and forecast showers suggested that a new destination would be difficult to achieve. We decided to stay in Vinon for the day and fly each glider twice. Although mountain flying conditions were difficult, we managed to reach Lac du Serre Poncon and fly the Parcours.
