"Dropping in" on Michel

After a lot of faffing around at home waiting for deliveries and sending a few ourselves we nipped out to St Agnes for a look but more likely a walk as it was pretty breezy.

The modellers were having fun and despite a bit on the windy side the sky looked good so it was worth a go.  Remarkably the air was much smoother than expected and the lift more gentle than hoped taking me upto around 600 ATO instead of cloud base.  Still patience is a virtue and sooner or later it had to happen and it did with a nice 2 up all the way.

Nipping in and out of the edge of the cloud saw me drift inland under a nice street which finally tempted me to fly along it in good lift.  Kaz had gone for a walk and did not seem keen to drive too far to find me .... decisions.  Too late to hang a right and head for home and a shame to land under such a nice cloud so carried on past Redruth, over Lanner, Stithians before coming to the A394 Falmouth to Helston Rd.  Ah ha Michel lives somewhere near here and somewhere down wind.

5 minutes of scouting the countryside and I finally worked it out, yep big sheds bungalow, Peugeot and nice filed, ideal.  The wind was a bit more than expected but then he does live on top of a hill blowing 25 + on landing, still no drama.  No sooner than I dropped the glider down there was Michel on his quad looking more surprised than a startled rabbit as I called out to him.  A nice cup of tea (no cake though) and then he was kind enough to drop me home, perfect.
