Serious take off! The view down from the local park in Ronda
Ray plays with the locals
The young Check's fly Michelles head
Every picture tells a story
The moon behind Ronda la V just before take offThe weather was finally different with a brisk NW and low cloud, made us think of England! We opted for a check out ar Ronda la V with a back up of heading Ronda for sight seeing then a re visit on the way back hopefully for an evening flight. That's pretty much exactly what we did, it was windy in the morning although the french had decided to fly a low hill in front of the main site we gave it a miss and headed in to town.
Ronda is a lovely place if a little toristy but has some superb architecture with a range of buildings from the 11th century onwards. A very plesant couple of hours, nice coffee, lovely apple thing and amazing guitarist all added to the experience.
Heading back north we arrived at the top of Ronda V where it was still windy. The Germans were just leaving and the french were still playing around on the low hill. We waited and pretty soon the local hot shot and some young Check' guns took off on fast wings. Their flying was impresive but their landgs enough to keep us on the ground.
As time went on the wind steadily eased and by the time everyone else had packed up we got going! Although a bit of a race against time Graham K, Michelle, Bill N and myself were all quickly in the air to enjoy some of the nicest flying I have had on a Paraglder. The moon was up the sun had set and the colours were just fantastic. In smooth bouyant air we could fly pretty much anywhere and the sight of Michelle sillouetted against the moon was something else.
We landed in the light of a full moon with big smiles, patience is a virtue........
The air is cooler now and the tempatures forecast much lower than the 30 degrees we have been experiencing so things may liven up a bit.
