Turkeys in Turkey

The Turkey trip starts in earnest with an early morning breakfast well 08.30 where we all seem to have recovered from the previous days travel.  Bundling into Hectors transport we headed off up the hill chatting eagerly but getting progressively quieter as we got nearer the top until by arrival we were all quiet.

Still it did not take long for us to recover and soon we were all laid out , checked and ready to go. forward launches were the ideal way to go and every one got cleanly away and headed off out to the blue yonder.  Being last off I followed Mike C o the right where we played along the spine back in broken lift with Mike making the most of it.  One by one the guys landed having not only soaked up the view got acclimatised
and pulling a few manoeuvres' on the way down.

Plenty of chat, some refreshing orange juice and a mid day snack then we were back off back up to launch. the afternoon flight saw Wyn D, Al K and myself having some fun on the spine back again in now slightly rougher lift before heading out to join the others who had again done all sorts on the way down. Al and lee headed off to visit Butterfly valley where they stayed for a long time, a very long time before rejoining us well after dark, it's a story worth hearing..........

A fun meal in the Hotel nearly resulted in food all over the floor as various amongst us described their attempts at what mainly sound like some kind of skateboarding trips.

Various Go Pro videos  showed the truth .........

Most headed for a relatively early night  Quote of the day "Tomato Tomatoes"
