Choc-o-late,classic magic lift hmmmmmmmm

It was indeed a Montellano day and what a lovely day it was too. Arriving just as the breeze pulled on we got the guys and gals off for a quick top to bottom to a climatize. Well actually some of them stayed up in the gentle ridge lift whilst the others flew down then it was a quick pick up and back to the top.

Ray and Jackie opted for another flight down to hone their skills whilst the others waited for better conditions, although in actual fact a couple cracked and had another flight to fill up the retrieve car.

By mid afternoon things were getting more lively and the guys took off to play with the thermals. Sam swiftly flew to the top of the stack and was then trailed closely by Dave and Bill who followed him around the sky hoping to pick up some of his magic. There was the normal entertainment on launch with some of the top landers looking smooth and some looking a total mess!

As the day drew on we waited for the classic evening lift to kick in and sure enough it did with Ray and Jackie taking advantage of it. The sky filled with wings but in the smooth lift there was room for all. Slowly they began to descend and we picked up a happy but tired bunch from the foot of the hill.

Another super meal in this time courtesy of Jackie who showed off her culinary skills to great effect. Forecast looks good for tomorrow, yummy.
