Times are hard so we have cut down on the packed lunches
Mark James and Sam have the hill to themselves at Mala
Lisa puts in a good flight before the others arrive
Sam looking cool as he comes into land
Evening flying at Macher rounds off a perfect dayAnother hard day in Lanzarote with the tempature at 22C. Mala was our chosen site and on arrival we met the other British group at the bottom wondering what to do. We decided to go up whilst they opted to check out somwhere else.
It was light on the lower launch so we wlked to the top as a couple of wings took off and managed to just stay up. By the time we got up there things were looking better and with everyone else landed we had the place to our selves. The guys were quickly off the hill and with a mixture of gentle ridge and thermal lift (as the sun came out) they had a good time. Sam A made it to cloudbase whilst James B explored well out in front in ever more bouyant conditions. Mark F practiced getting low and coming back up again so perfecting his thermalling technique. Lisa W and Wanda S both got some airtime in working well on their launches and getting better for it.
We spent the afternoon there with the guys putting in several flights in and it wasn't till after a couple of hours that we saw the other group return to fly.
Then it was heading back to the villa via Macher where everyone got to fly again in the evening lift as the sun set all rounded off with a nice glide out to the landing field on route to "home".
A supermarket raid gave provisions for a mega BBQ courtesy of chef James and comi chef Lisa. A nice swim in the pool some table tennis and pool a bit of a laugh and it was time for bed.
Forecast is for more sun , yummy . Ok I know still no photo's, just to busy having fun....
