Lanazarote - Lisa leads the way

Sorry but with a forecast for increasing wind we made an early start so no egg comp' today. We dropped by Famara on the way to hopefully find a slot but it was not to be so we headed onto Mala. Arriving first it was not long before more pilots arrived. Mark, Wanda, James and Sam walked to the top whilst Lisa and myself took the easy option staying at the lower one.

Lisa was first off showing the way and was soon joined by James Sam and myself . We all landed at the bottom where James took a healthy interest in riser bags before we headed to the Cafe by the beach for cold drinks whilst Mark and Wanda sunbathed on top. The wind filled in and swung back to the north so we dropped back to Famara where it was fairly well off so with news that El Cochillo was on we moved on.

The top take off at El Cochillo was breezy enough in the compression and proving challenging so we opted for the lower one. Sam, Mark and James were quickly in the air enjoying the evening lift and late thermals. Wanda joined them as the wind eased further and they all flew till the sun went down before landing on top.

The guys ate out while Kaz and myself ate in enjoying a nice swim under the moon whilst the BBQ cooked, almost romantic!
