Algo day 3 Rain in Spain ??

 Bill Rush's to rig as the thermals kick in

 Mark heads out to play

 Mike does what Mike does 

 Chrissy and Bill celebrate a good flight and the Rush 3 :) 

That is what was forecast with only a brief flyable slot possibly in the morning.  You guessed it we were up there and ready at 11.00am. Conditions were breezy, overcast and even a touch of dampness, still we remained positive. Possibly alittle too positive as lightning began to flash around us!  11.30 saw us head back down to sort out the new lodgings and have a spot of lunch before heading of to do some sighseeing.

However by the time we were sorted things looked brighter and the winds lighter, hmmmmm lets head up and have a look.  On arrival it was very light and still quite bright so the guys wasted no time in getting set up.  Once again Bill led the way and after a very sinky spell dissapeared around to the east Graham K followed then Chrissy and one by one the rest some went down some went up and Bill and Chris took the honours with some super flying which encouraged half ofAlgo to head up the hill! Simon took the opportunity to stroke Jackies bush as opposed to going fully into it, lucky he trimmed it yesterday.

 Kaz and myself headed down to pick up the troops and by the time we returned to take off there were plenty of gliders in the air.  Everyone had a second flight with Barry h taking the honours this time as he soared up in the thermals having to pull Big ears to get away and down and then having the added bonus of out flying myself as we worked some low level stuff above the landing field.  BIG thanks to Chrissy and Bill for driving the cars down so allowing Kaz and myself to fly.

An unxpecte end to a day which we had pretty much written off, lets hope tomorrows forecast is just as wrong!!!

Quote of the day " why go up when you can go down" .................
