Despite the problems at Gatwick we all got away on time with no hassle and arrived in Lanzarote only 10 minutes behind schedule. The group was made up of Sam A. Mark F, Wanda S, James B, Lisa W Kaz and myself. Lisa met us in Lanzarote arriving within minutes of us so making life easy.

Car hire was straight forward for a change and we were soon heading to the villa which was a "new" one to us. It's a cracker, nice views, warm pool, plenty of space and loads of hot water, is got a thumbs up all round. Everyone settled in quickly and unpacked the basics then it was off to the hills. A ride up the local one Macher saw it flyable but light in the afternoon sea breeze so we decided to head to Famara where we found it nearly smack on and breezy enough so we headed to the lower launch. Here it was fine and the guys were quickly in the air playing on the lower slopes. Mark James and Sam had a fun time chasing each other on the ridge whilst Lisa and Wanda settled in with some ground work.

Then back to the all you can eat chinese for a evening meal with everyone buzzing. An early night saw everyone sleep well in readiness for a full day on Friday. Good to fly on the first day.

Will add photos soon
