The week oner's get a final group piccy on top of Lijar
The last day for the first weeker's saw
us head off up the main hill more in hope than anticipation as the
forecast was for a breezy start getting windier through the day.
Whilst few frenchies flew and got blown away even Michel decided to
give it a miss. We stayed on launch making a general nuiscance of
ourselves before the annual catapult challenge got underway with the
Fly Spain group.
Chrissy spreads them for Cloud 9
Michel lets one off ............
Rattling off 4 shots a piece a total of
88 rocks failed to meet their target leaving us in a draw and with
Rob having git in his underpants. Still there is always next week and
with new blood in our camp hopes are high.
88 rocks and no result.... the competitors
With the wind on the increase we headed
back down and by the time we arrived back in Algo it was blowing a
hooley. The guys chilled around the digs, cleaned out their kit and
packed in a leisurley manner. Late afternoon saw us head south to
Malaga for an early drop off, car change and pick up of the week
twoer's.
Goddbyes said and it got a bit
emotional with those leaving not wanting to go and those remaining
being glad to see the back of them, only joking. Seriously it was a
good week and so good to see the guys make the most of it having been
thrown in at the deep end on the first couple of days. They all made
great progress in their flying and achieved things that surprised
both them and me lets hope the UK weather allows them to keep up it
up over the winter months.
Don't ask, except to say they had been drinking whilst we were away at the airport
Fresh meat in JJ's
Bill headed back with Wyn D whilst I
waited for Shuan W, Adi C and Andrew S who arrived an hour or so
later. All aboard and a nice clean car we headed back north to Algo
in the dark.
One cat later and we arrived back at
Casa Zahara to find a very jovial Bill, Kaz and Chrissy, I don't know
what they were on but we all wanted some ….........
Wyn decided on an early night after his
trip and the rest of us headed up to town and introduced Adi and
Shaun to JJ's meatballs and Snitzel.
By the time we got back Bill had
quietend down a bit which was fortunate allowing the rest of us to
get some sleep in.
