The Roman bridge at SadernesWe had taken our harnesses to Niviuk to have the parachutes repacked and mine fitted to my new harness the previous evening, so we found ourselves on an epic day with nothing to fly except one HG. Hmmm. It was too hot to go skiing and we were too lazy to go walking so we opted for the easy option… lunch.

We went to Miami Beach at Sadernes and had a picnic under the bridge, a paddle in the lake and a snooze in the sun.

It was such a good looking day that we went to collect our gliders early (they were ready – thanks Xiliu!) and went off to Santa Brigida for a quick fly. Udo was there with a client, but it had been too windy all day, but we managed to squeak in a quick flight before it died off completely. A quick bite to eat and we set off on the three and a half hour journey to Ager. We got there at midnight and had a glass of wine under the stars. They don’t have an observatory there for nothing. What a night sky!
