We spent the morning doing jobs, minor stuff, which included Judith inspecting the septic tank, and doing some shit clearing (before she made lunch…). Hang gliders were flying at the Mynd off and on all day, so when we’d done enough jobs, we went out. I had a very pleasant hour on the hang glider, and even at 6.15pm it was still very thermic. Plenty of paraglider pilots waiting around for the wind to drop, which eventually it did, pretty late on. Judith and I – and the rest of the PG pilots – had a very late evening flight, but very pleasant. Nice to actually be able to fly in the UK, though the forecast for the next couple of days is poor. I’m sure the sailplanes went a long way today – it was very thermic all day. I was a bit surprised there weren’t more hang gliders out, just two or three, as well as me.
Oh, and a week or two ago, Judith lost her camera case and spare battery. She thought she’d left it at San Pere, and even asked Nani to have a look for it when he flew there. But she found it today – she looked at her wing when she was flying, and saw a dark object in the trailing edge – her camera case and battery! A real shame, then, that she bought a new one this morning.
