9th May : Racon tepe, Ankara

Özgün e-mailed on Friday "NW winds, above 2500 meters cloudbase. Coming to fly?". Turned into a great day - maybe my last at Racon. Yigit, Umut, and Basat were there, and the Hacattepe university club. Beautiful Ankara spring weather - cold, thermic air and a breeze. By early afternoon the thermals had organised themselves after being totally disorganized in the late morning and I got away with Özgün and Basat. It was turbulent higher up. I saw 4-5 collapses. I thought we were in an inversion. I didn't get a collapse for once. I landed about 20km away near Özgün. After getting back to Racon, we enjoyed some relaxing evening soaring.
