Algo 1

The hangers were up early and looking pretty

then the paragliders started to get ready

Kaz stares skywards before being the first of the group off the hill

Our first day in Algodanales was a cracker. Up the hill early we were ready and waiting as the breeze swung on as the sun shone onto the SE face. Kaz was first off into the bouncy air and had a fun time going up and down in the punchy thermals. Paul H was next and had a fantastic flight with lift of 8 ups and sink of 12 downs before deciding he had had enough after an hour or so. The suspicion that he is taking viagra was upheld as his biggest problem was getting it down!

Gay and myself watched the entertainment at launch until the wind flicked to the west when we headed down to pick the guys up. A refresher in the bar and it was back up for the evening flights with Gay leading us into the air followed by Kaz. They both had cracking flights playing with the smooth lift for nearly an hour before heading off to the landing field where I joined them on . Paul kindly offered to drive giving me the chance to fly, thanks Paul.

Writing this from the local bar which is only 30 yards from the apartment , life can´t be bad. Hopefully more tomorrow.
