Best day of the season

A little bit of video from my best session of the year. For those who know GP, it was blowing 20kts south - perfect.

I thought there was quite a bit of gp.
The grass was starting to grow back.
How sloppy is Vanier?

Definitely a weekday, no one was in the park. End to end in slightly over a minute. It looks a lot faster than it really is, the average speed is only about 30km/h on a ~500m tack. The 2m was awesome to fly in 20 kts plus.
It was back in May, the lupins look like crap now. I got three solid hours of flying like that in that day. Definitely my best day of the season.
