We decided to have a day off and head to the seaside. Towels, buckets and spades packed we headed for Barmouth, whilst the hang gliding comp went to Clatter and a few locals went to the Long Mynd. It was the hottest day of the year so far and swimming in the sea was gorgeous. It clouded over for about an hour, but we didn’t get a chance to grumble about it, because some of our time was taken up dealing with issues around the mid-air between two hang gliders at Clatter. Thankfully, one is being released from hospital today, the other is more injured, but not life-threatening. The task was cancelled as a result of the accident.
Once the sun came back out, we indulged ourselves in ice cream, a walk and building balancing stone sculptures. We left once the wind got stronger and it got a bit chillier and went to the HG comp HQ to see friends, and get the latest news.

I blew out yesterday. Due to Alex’s Horse riding (birthday present), I didn’t leave home until after lunch. Went to Malverns worcestershire beacon but the 4 XC pilots already there had not launched as they thought it was marginally too windy and off to the south a bit. I didn’t either as it got stronger. I should have gone to my favourite site Much Marcle but thought it would have been too light – but I hadn’t realised it was that windy. damm damm damm.
