With a little low cloud around and a NW forecast we headed to Ronda La V for our first full day in Algo'. The group were all chatty in the cars but got noticeably quieter as we got nearer to the site! On arrival the wind was light and the schools were sending their pilots off for top to bottoms. By the time they cleared the wind started to waft up the front and our guys opted for a top to bottom to settle in before waiting for soarable conditions.

Everyone did a good one with some of the more experienced working bits of thermal on the way down. Pretty soon we were all back at launch with the wind filling in nicely. Conditions quickly became soarable and thermic and timing was the name of the game for launching. Still everyone did well getting some good flying and plenty of practice at mixing it with the crowds.

Ray and Jackie kept their powder dry until things were at their best then off they went. Jackie had a ball putting in her first soaring flight and rounding it off with a cracking top landing to a large round of applause and huge smile. Ray played the game and had a nice flight as the hill cleared a little before bottom landing to join the other guys. Late day back saw us pick up Peachy who took the day off to try and get rid of the fish smell.... before heading to JJ's for beers food and 43's. Good forecast again tomorrow ......
