Lanzarote 2011 Day 1 - Arrival

Kaz checks to see if it is flyable at Macher
Loz gets his kit off.....

Michelle does what Michelle does best

Off and away

Ray looks pretty chuffed with himself

Well bit of the day before as well actually. With michelle K and Wanda S packed into “Bluebelle” we set off from Cornwall at 23.00 picking up Lawrence OD and Ray D on the way to Gatwick. With a comfortably full van the trip was a nice one and all went well with even the plane leaving on time.

Remarkable on arriving in Lanzarote the car hire went to plan and even the weather was on form with bright blue skies and a plesant 20 degrees. After a swift visit to the super market we settled into the villa had a nice cuppa on the patio where from where we saw gliders beginning to launch from our local hill Macher.

The gang decided a trip up was in order and on arrival it was good to see plenty in the air and to meet some old friends. Michelle led the way and was soon up there(afterbeing down there) mixing it with the rest. Whilst Big ray and myself went to one side for some ground handling the others got themselves sorted and soon Loz (Lawarence and Kaz were off the hill. Kaz got the best of it flying out and picking up some nice thermals before heading out to land by the school, ehilst Loz went on a mini XC!

Ray and Wanda took the last slots and both had a nice flights out and down with Ray arriving in the school field and Wanda doing a super nil winder in the Powere line field.
Then it was off the “the port” for a relaxing coffee by the marina to unwind and watch the sun set. Back to the villa we had a cook in night and early to bed to catch up on some missing sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
