Barry sets off on his best flight ever of the trip

Gliders spread out towards twin peaks with space for all

So the last day of our trip dawned bright and blue and with a good forecast for Lijar. light SE. Everyone was up early as we needed stuff packed so we could fly as late as possible then grab the kit and head to the airport. We were first up the hill and first off the hill with the guys all doing excellent demo flights for Fly Spains new class of students.

The first flight were pretty much downers but all good practice and Michelle managed to stretch it out with some ridge soaring whilst Cathy did it with some gentle thermalling. We got a quick turnround in and were back on top before most of the other groups were even up there one flight ahead.

The guys opted to wait for a bit for things to warm up so we ate lunch and watched the fun. By early afternoon it was looking good so it was take off time as gliders climbed in the thermals. Michelle made the most of it as usual having a cracking flight then top landing and doing it all over again with a big smile on his face. The guys and girls had a ball all doing us proud with good launches despite quite a bit of pressure from the assembled masses (over 90 pilots were on site).

Conditions were excellent and soon we had pilots all over the sky thermalling away. trying to keep tabs on them was a full time job but as time went by they were all sorted. Lisa had a fine time practicing her thermalling and finding herself a nice quiet bit of sky. Wanda remembered how to fly and thermalled away with Mark way out front occasionally joined by Barry and Chris as they wafted by. Even Kaz and myself got in on the action and had some cracking flying joining the other pilots, I managed to team up with Michelle and we made a valiant push to twin peaks being within spitting distance as land by time approached. Another 30 minutes would have seen it but we did not want to push our luck too hard!

Landing by the tree everyone was bouncing especially Chris and Barry who both upgraded their best ever flights for the 3rd time in the trip!

It was a fantastic day to end the holiday on with conditions as good as they get. We headed back to the house then it was off to the airport where things went nearly according to plan although Easy jet pulled the old "Oh it's Sports equipment trick" putting a slight damper on it.

So ended Algo' 2010 and what a beauty it was with 19 days flying out of 22 and the majority of the pilots achieving personal bests and everyones flying progressing in one form or another.

Thanks to all who came along hope you all had a good time one way or another and thanks for your your help in making it such a good time. Next year is provisionally booked so get your names in quick..........
