Morning Cloud over the Mountains
Creaming up for the day
Waking up to a blue sky and good
forecast hopes were high and with XC fever in the air pilots made
sure radios were working and vario's were charged.
In anticipation we headed off slightly
earlier than usual for the main hill only to clock more wind in the
Repsol flags, cloud blowing over the hill and the French driving
down! Change of plan and we headed to El Bosque where hopefully the
wind would be lighter.
Cloud 9 takes over the hill
Is that a monster coming over the hill, is that a monster (no its Mike)
Tour de Andalucia passes by
On arrival it was indeed lighter so
much so that it was practically none existent and what there was was
actually off the hill. Whilst pretty much everyone (all the various
groups) arrived checked out the landing field then headed up the hill
we stayed put as Mike did a bit of ground handling to test out his
foot and even got them off the ground. By the time he had had enough
a fine film of wet stuff appeared so we retired to the local bar at
the bottom of the hill for coffee and light entertainment.
The wet stuff got wetter and by mid
afternoon it was back to Algo to finish off the XC chat, tea, coffee
and beers and an evening out.
Every picture tells a story .............
Lets hope the forecast for tomorrow is
more reliable.....................
Quote of the day “better to stall
your car than your glider” ok I know my driving is not that good.
