Lanzarote Day Three - "The Beers are on me"

Rays attempt at the Egg boiling comp' dont think we will let him loose again

Michelle has the whole of Famara ridge to himself

Kaz gets some airtime in at Famara


We went for a cheaper villa this year!

but maybe we will go for this one next year

The guys fly till dark

An early start after Rays attempt at the Egg boiling comp’ (well not as early as Wanda) saw us heading north to Famara where we were first on site, the win strength was good although the direction a bit off. Michel undeterred got his kit out and was soon in the air defying he laws of gravity and lift staying up very nicely thank you.

The rest went to the lower slopes where they got in some good ground work and Loz began to “master” the technique of wing walking. for an hour or so. A quick shower saw some stuning rainbows then with the wins squaring up it was time for me to put in some flying before it got a bit on the breezy side. With it now a classic Hangy day we took a trip to south of Soo then back to Teguise for Coffee and a stroll up to the castle where it was really windy. The Hangers continued to sky out cruising the Famara ridge run whilst we chilled.

Back on the hill things were settling down again and pretty soon the guys were off again. Ray began his wing walking lessons whilst the rest had a fun time playing with the steady ridge lift and the odd evening thermal and watching the sun set.

As darkness fell they all came in one by one with Loz bringing up the rear landing in the gloom and declaring, “the beers are on me”, (that’s him not me). Wanda was bouncing having done a super low take off then scratching her way up to join the others another challenge ticked off her list.

Back to the villa for a dip in the pool followed by a hot tub session beer and food. The team were all up for an early night and it was lights out by 10.30.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
