Flying to Yecla from Vera, Spain |
Approaching Yecla |
We landed on the wrong strip at Yecla though. It was a model aircraft field. The main runway was a dirt strip 200M away to the south! |
A Friendly local feeding me non-GM Lettuce. Tasty! |

Being sent out to sea by Valencia ATC across the bay, 6 miles out. During this, I took this picture of the bay. |
Light, strange winds along the coast near sunset |
Castellon de la plana, East coast of spain. The day I decided not to fly and the forecast for the day. |
The sky 40 minutes later, true to the forecast. Embedded CB's engulfing the coast. |

After 4 days of waiting, I set off for Ordis, on the Spanish border. The flight was 3 hours of concentration and focus, with few places to land in an emergency. Trees, powerlines or trees! |
The Spanish Border and the Pyrenees in the distance, reading to cross |
The stress and concentration showing on my face whilst navigating around the complex Barcelona TMA |
A welcoming but windy windsock at Ordis, Spain. Finally landing near the border for the night. |
