Ecrins volbiv day 5 - St André-les-Alpes to Puy Aillaud on my Omega X-Alps 2

Thursday 5th July 2018. After a good night's sleep in a proper bed I said my goodbyes to Nigel and Karol, and made my up to the St André takeoff, la Chalvet, by navette. Arriving at the top I discovered my water bladder had leaked all its water out, so I sent it back down in the navette with instructions for it to be filled and returned on the next navette, which duly happened, ninety minutes later... aghhhh, such a schoolboy error - always keep your water with you, not with your glider! This obviously cost me ninety minutes, which meant that by the time I took off it was already overdeveloping to the north, meaning my plan of flying to Puy Aillaud, 100kms to the north, wasn't going to happen. However, in retrospect, it's funny how the day worked out...
