It was a little Perky first thing
A good forecast soon looked like not
quite as good a day so we got a few things sorted and had a further
review of the previous days epic flying before we moved out. Cloud
base was low and the wind fresh, we opted for a spot of ground
handling in the noticeboard field which saw Carl move ahead with more
advanced techniques and Simon starting to break old habits and adapt
to new ones ;)
Boys at play
Lunchtime and we made the decision not
to head to the coast for a dogfight with the Luftwaffe but to take
the day “off” and head for a spot of sight seeing and exercise.
Heading south we arrived at the now famous dry Dam which despite the
rain was still as dry as ever. A spot of gate climbing, mountain
goat track walking saw those with a head for heights make their way
out to the dam. Graham K gave us an engineers view of the
construction and the problem and concluded that it could all be
sorted with a couple of cans of expanding foam.
Dry dams and Engineers
Enough said !
All returned safely and next it was off
down the steps and into the valley below where it was amazingly calm
and quiet, spooky........ The cave was still there and as I was the
only one to have been there before it was fun to see the guys slip
and slide over the rocks to reach the lake before showing them the
easy way back, he, he. The stroll back out of the lost world saw us
sweating but certainly burned up a few calories allowing for some 43
this evening.
Cave dwellers
Heading home we stopped off in Zahara
where those still with energy left headed up to the castle, well
actually that was Colin, whilst the rest of us chilled out in the
square. Popping plants followed with Peachy having the top action
getting some good explosions and sending seeds everywhere.
Competitive or what
With plenty of time to spare we opted
for a group meal in kindly cheffed by Peachy assisted by Julie and
what a fine meal it was seeing everybody well full. The wine flowed
, the stories flowed and all in all it was a first class evening.
Shame Graham K missed out having left for home at the end of his
week, thanks for your company and glad you enjoyed it.
Feeding time
Drinking time
Story time
Rounding off with Michels “Donkey”
story saw us in stitches before the party wound up and Casa Zahara
fell silent.
