Two good flights, yesterday and today, both over more or less same route (Pian/Colonna, etc.). Added 5hrs to my airtime this year. Today was a peach of cloud day, spent most of the flight climbing gently to CB and then hopping from one to the next. Twice I came in over newly forming cloud below me, at 1600m or 1700m. First time was over Pian, with wind coming in from the north (Luino) and thus cooler and a bit more moist. The second time, over Colonna, the cloud just started forming below me 100m or so, and just rose up. Easy to spot the thermals that way.
After this I followed a street straight home, about 4 clouds before it finished off and I took the glide back to Sasso.
Start of the flight was a photo session for Andrew, I was doing (for me) pretty radical wing overs in front of the ramp and above Sasso summit. We'll see what they come out like.
