Caught a perfect between-frontal day on Table Mountain. A smooth NNW allowed soaring on both the NW and the N face of Table Mountain. It is really rare to get on the front face of Table Mountain in these conditions. It was a first for me and real treat! Conditions were perfect for out-and-returns in both directions and I managed to fit in a 25km FAI triangle on the mountain, before landing at Rondebosch Common, half a kilometer from my house.
A really special day at a world class site.

Unfortunately my GoPro misted up a little, so the image quality isn't what it could be from halfway through the flight, but you get idea. It was a lovely day to be up there.
