Lanzarote - Wandafull Day

Breakfast at Tiffanys, wish you were here Bill
Rigging up at Mala

Lisa shows them how it's done

James has a nice one at Mirador

The pool at "home" as warm as you'd want it

Well what a day. We had a relaxed start letting the guys and gals catch up on a few zzz's then after a fine breakfast (including Golden Grahams Bill) and the start of the boiled egg competion we headed north to Mala. Conversation varied in the vans covering a huge range of subjects from liposuction for air passengers , STD's (where I learnt some things I had never heard of) and even some talk of flying.

On arrival at Mala it was light and a bit off to the North but the gang showed the way with Mark F first off followed by James B, Sam A and Laisa W. They all had nice flights landing well in the bottom landing zone. We made the decision to head to Mirador to see what was on there. Again it was light but we made the best of it with some gentle soaring on both the upper and lower cliffs. A committed take off was needed but the guys all dealt with it well and Lisa did really well skipping through the rocks to do a fine take off.

Then it was back to Mala for an evening flight. mark Sam and Lisa got off quickly to enjoy some nice soaring as the evening drew in. Wanda S made her first flight in 13 months making it look like she had never been away from it and rounded it off with a cracking landing and a round of applause. Great to see her back in the air with a big smile. We packed up as darkness fell and headed back to the Villa.

A fun evening with a dip in the pool followed by a lovely meal (largely due to Lisa and Sam) plenty of beer , wine and 43. It was a late night as we sat under a beatiful star lit night mmmm.

Will definitely sort the photos out later, honest...
