Algo day 3 El Torro!!

Kaz looks happy after a good days flying
Gay launches for an early flight after Paul on the west take off

the "guys" arrive at El Bosque




With a west breeze forecast we decided on an early flight off Lejar to get the forward launches sorted then headed off to El Bosque to check out the sight. arriving at lunchtime things were looking pretty good so we headed straight up and checked out the Hang Gliding launch which is a cracker before moving on up to the Paragliding one. Paul was first off followed by Kaz and Gay and all had nice flights with as much thermal lift as they wanted (well Paul could have done with more). Kaz played a little to long with some lift resulting in her landing short in a field which appeared to be inhabitted by large animals with large horns. A ple for help ensued as they showed more interest in her and Paul came to the rescue.

After a bite of lunch (Paul ate yet more hard sausage) we headed back up for an evening flight which was a super one with the guys staying up until the sunset in a mixture of ridge lift and thermal along with 20 other gliders on this huge ridge. Everyone did a cracking landing in the huge lading field before we headed back for yet more beer and food. Tomorrow looks like it may rain....what!!
