Viva Espania

Kaz and Jackie enjoy the evening lift with only us around hmmmmm

The start of our 2010 trip to Algo' got going with car hire hassle on arrival at Malaga where instead of the ordered Berlingos two Seat Ibaza's were lined up for us. After a little to and froing we ended up with a very (far to) posh Citroen C8 with all the extra's and a Berlingo so a result as it turned out.
The advance party, Phippsy Kaz, Tony P, Nigel W and Jackie N having sorted the transport headed north and did the shopping then with the C8 full to the brim headed on to Algo'. The sky looked good so after settling in to the house and a cup of tea we headed up the hill for a look checking out the bottom landings on the way. On arrival a number of gliders were taking off from the west launch and floating down so the guys thought they would get one in for the experience.
By the time they launched the evening lift kicked in and they all had a cracking flight floating around before having to head down as the sun set. With a nil wind the landings were swift in the cafe field which unfortunately saw Peachy tweaking his knee and smelling of fish!
Back to JJ's where we met up with the rest of the group who had had a scenic drive up courtesy of Bill N ably assisted by the guys, Steve M, Ray M, Dave L and Sam A. A slap up meal and several beers later we headed "home" with a good forecast for tomorrow.
