The forecast was pretty much spot on with a wet and windy start to the day so we had a chilled time recovering from yesterdays exploits and travelling. The guys fiddled with kit, emptied sand out of gliders inspected friction burnt lines and generally amused themselves in all sorts of ways.
By early afternoon things startd to brighten up a little and as the front passed the wind veered so we decided to have look at Ronda V on the off chance. Whilst kaz's car went straight there Phippsy's car took the scenic route due to too much thought going into conjouring up Muffin the Mule, you kind of needed to be there.
Not suprisingly it was windy at Ronda and whilst the Vultures were having a ball playing with the lift and cloud suck flying Paragliders did not look like a wise move. We sat it out until 19.00 when to be fair it did moderate but we decided to give the small slot a miss and head back so Andy and myself could head off to get some replacement lines made up to replace his damaged ones.
A quiet day and just what we needed to recharge ready for a better forecast tomorrow......hopefully!
Quote of the day "its like a mine field" if you have been to Ronda V you will know what they mean !
