Steve M packs up after alovely last flight at Ronda La V and an amazing two weeks of flying
Michelle looks pleased at the end of his week away
Kaz last to land rounds of a cracking trip
Gunny "I don't snore at all" keeps Ray awake
Ray pulls a dog at the airport, or is it Nigel pulling ??It was an early get away from the house and off to Ronda La V to hopefully get a last flight in. On arrival two gliders were flying so it was on. Unfortunately a minor driving error resulted in two more dented wheels but quick action by Steve M and a swift wheel change soon saw us mobile again.
getting in the air quickly those that flew enjoyed some nice flying in "crisp" conditions, almost like a bright winters day in the UK. As the cumulus developed so did the thermals and the wind. It was all to soon time to head out front before landing by the track where the cars picked us up. A lovely end to the flying which had seen us fly every day apart from the one we arrived on, can't be bad.
We headed to the airport after packing our wings neatly by the beach and that's when the fun began! It's a long story but net result was that Gunny was not allowed on the plane, guess who's stranded in Malaga with him??
So nearly ended Algo' 2009 which had seen some amazing flying conditions, some amazing flying and some unusual experiences. Nearly everybody experienced personal bests and or achieved what they hoped. It was good to see so many pilots experiencing and using thermals for the first time and staying up for hours without the help of ridge lift. Forward and reverse launches were perfected in varying conditions and nil wind landings made to look easy. Hopefully everyone had a good time I know I did and thank you to them all for not only coming but also making the trip what it was.
Any one for another ???????
