Did I mis-hear, you are a 63 year old lady 😮. Good for you. I've been flying 20+ years and I'm 77 now but was flying on the coast near where I live in the UK just a couple of weeks ago. Congrats on 1st.xc. I remember mine. I went to Australia with just 50 hours, 19 years ago. flew Mystic, a comp site. Someone there said to me next time you get some height try and go somewhere. One flight I had 5,000 feet above take off. I went. 😊. Not a great distance, 10k maybe, and I've never been an amazing xc flyer, my best about 40k in the French Alps, but it's great. That area looks great to fly in, I'm so jealous. Have fun. Stay safe. ❤

Congrats😃 where is this?

I was just at Oludeniz (Turkiye) again and it was thermally but punchy little buggers, wing collapses (and that's on my little wing!) and tossing around. None the less I made it over to Kayakoy but I really miss the lovely BC thermals!

That 2. climb !!! So you made a vario? You say you do not have an altimeter so the tracklog is from the phone then? I use an phone (XC Track or LK8000) and a little gps with bluetooth powerd by P.V. and battery. XC tracer GPS mini III and ( since I "lost the XC tracer into the wrong pocket 😀) altso an Stodeus UltraBip. Both U can set up the sound on a PC. Nice to have the thermal sniffer from -0.5 to 0.1 or what you prefere. It's a bit challanging to learn a new program so I am mostly using LK8000. (since the dark ages ). And then I upload the track from there with GPSDUMP into XCONTEST. But if you don't use any of those i had taken XC Track. So a used android about 5-6" is inaf.

Yeh I use FlySkyHy but leave the phone in the back by habit. Yep gotta gear up!
