[Date] May 30 [Site Name] Upper Makenzie [Weather] Sunny, windy [Notes] 
The Clif, three ½ Peters, (brother Peter), and myself headed up to Pembie yesterday. Early wind in Squamish meant strong conditions today. Some pilot just landed when we arrived at the school, but by the time we got to launch is was a bit too strong. Clif did his Intermediate exam, while I conducted a tree rescue course with some new ideas tested out. The results are in: don’t try to put on a climbing harness to repel from. Around 6pm the wind started to ease of, so I started kiting for fun – still too strong to fly. By 7pm the winds were perfect. We flew a short XC 20km North, with smooth lift everywhere. You could probably fly to 3000m but it was too cold for me (@2,200m). I suggested that we head back and start fighting the magic lift with BigEars and speedbar. This help keep us below 2000m, but spirals were still needed to get down. Even at 100m you could easily climb back up!
