Geoff writes: Judith is on the club coach course organised by the LMSC. With thirty people, it’s full, and being held at the Powis Arms in Lydbury North – a great venue. I started packing and cleaning ready for the move to Spain, but when I saw hang gliders over the house, and paragliders flying too, I decided to go out with the PG for a quick flight. I’d already been phoned to be told there’d been one accident, but no damage done (probably). On arriving at the Mynd I was told of another, an accidental parachute deployment. As usual, the air ambulance came along with the road ambulance. The damage was only a dislocated shoulder, nothing serious.

In the end, I didn’t fly, mostly because the wind had picked up, and I didn’t want to wait around long enough to fly in the evening. In fact, we went back to the Powis Arms for dinner, and to meet the other people on the course; then off to the Inn on the Green for the party with the Polish pilots – who unfortunately had changed the venue at the last minute, and forgot to tell the LMSC – so no party for us, but a much earlier night than we expected.
