Epic Southern Alpes !

Best flight of the year for me ! 276 km FAI triangle
Encountered lots of differents flying machines of the human and feathered kinds : hanggliders, rigid wings, paragliders, swifts, sale planes... and the real masters :  vultures and other birds of prey. An 8 hours flight around the Southern Alps : at times great and easy conditions but in the northern part of my circuit, quite difficult and very physical (even on an Atos !). Great day out and a real feast for the senses.



Approaching the north side of Mont Ventoux for the first turnpoint
Looking north along La Blanche to Dormillouse
Tête de l'Estrop with a hangglider which was probably going back to Saint-André
Looking east from Tête de l'Estrop, the low clouds to the right are on the Italian side of the Alps
