Damien on his Omega 7
Following the ridge to Grenoble
Looking west to the Chamechaude (2082) towering about the village of Sappey-en-Chartreuse
Following a sailplane towards the Fort d'Eynard
The city of Grenoble lurking under the heavy inversion
Arriving at the Fort d'Eynard

Heading back along the ridge to St Hilaire - Tanyu arrives coming the other way

The sailplane heads back looking for a way to escape the inversion
Cloudbase remains very low at the Dent de Crolles (2062m)
Passing below the Dent de Crolle there is no chance to get above the upper ridge

The Funicular railway has justed started to decend the hill to the valley floor
Probably the tidiest takeoff in the world!
