I have visited Signes many times, trying to get a flight there, but the weather conditions have not been kind to me. So far.
Although I get there after the last vehicle departure, I am determined to fly and set on the path on foot. On my way up, a few pilots fly over my head.
The climb is very scenic and pleasant, and I'm standing on the take-off area just before sunset.
The view is very nice and I enjoy it while I setup. I'm still in the sunshine, but the bottom of the valley is invaded fast by the advancing shade.
The flight is very short, as it's late in season and late in the day and the thermals are not in activity.
I fly towards the center of the valley and close a wide circle around the landing site.
It was a short flight, but very pleasant. I'll definitely come back in summer...
