Yesterday was one of these special days on Grouse that come about only rarely. The wind was perfect at take off, there was lift everywhere, and the ceiling was well above our permitted ceiling. I took off at about 3 pm, quickly climbed out to 1800 m, and was off on my first outing to Goat Mtn, Crown Mtn, the Camel and beyond. I spent the next 2 plus hours doing lapses between the Camel and the bottom of the Cut, rarely below about 1500 m, and then settled for a peaceful flight over North Van and landing at 5:30 pm. An spectacular and unforgettable flight. Peter
