Playtime!

Nigel takes some zzzzz's before heading up the hill

Dunno how that got onto my camera!!

Bill with his incontinence pad

Ray kits up in the sunshine

Steve M looking like he means it, who's that in the background??

The wind to the south so it was the main Lejar launch making life "easy". The early flights were in light winds needing a good forward launch to say he least. Ray M did us proud showing a whole que of johnny foreigner how to do it. Bill, Steve and Nigel followed suit all having smooth flights down.

By the time Kev T got going things were a little better and he did a cracking job staying airborne for 20 minutes well down the mountain before hooking one and popping back up. This was enough to encourage Sam A off and he "stumbled" into a thermal to start off his first thermalling flight of well over an hour. By the time I got to the bottom landing field to pick up Kev Sam was alnding and the others had taken off for their second flights.

We had pilots all over the sky playing with the abundant lift, in fact it was more of a problem getting down rather than up.

Kev and Sam put in another flight off the NW launch in nice smooth thermals to round off a cracking day. Early night as the boys are flown out, well nearly early as Ray and Kaz went dancing. Piccies will follow when get time to sort. looking good for tomorrow!!!!!
