Lanzarote 2011 Day Two - "Chung Chung"

The sun rises - yummy

Flying gets going at Macher

Loz cruises past take off

Bit of male bonding on the lava fields

Famara beach, the sun is out , the surf is up and the water is warm!

Chill out

After a good nights sleep all were up at a good time and breakfasted by 9.30 a glance up Macher showed a hangy just launching and a few minutes later a Paraglider joined it. Off we went and 10minutes later arrived at take off. Myself and Michelle wasted no time and were soon off into very pleasant conditions. Loz was next and joined Michelle whilst I landed to sort the rest.

In the air it got a little more lively as the sun heated the ground and the wind filled. Whilst it was still launchable Kaz Ray and Wanda decided to give it a miss which proved a wise decision as the wind moved off to the west and conditions got bouncy resulting in Michelle having a “Chung Chung” experience!. Michelle ladned back ontop after his fourth flight whilst Loz headed out to the bottom landing and getting stuck in lift just short of it.

We decided to head north to famara beach to play and see what happened. The sun was out the sea was warm and the surf was up so it was a no brainer really. While Kaz and Ray went swimming Loz and myself went surfing and Michelle and Wanda went sunbathing. We spent a very plesant afternoon rounded off with a nice coffe before checking out the lower lower launch at Famara.

Despite the wind being WELL off Michelle kited up the hill and played for an hour making the most of it and doing remarkably well as it turned out.

Back to the Villa again we ate in and chilled out in the hot tub with Ray and myself turning decidedly wrinkly! Bit cloudy in the skies but hopefully will clear for tomorrow.
