The weather was hot and sunny and lots of people arranged to go flying, some at Puig d’Afrou, some at El Mont and some at Ceret in France. We toyed with the idea of going too, but by 11am there was no cumulus, and it looked stable so we decided to have a day off and headed to the beach at Roses.

When we got there there was a cool northerly wind, so we found a nice sheltered bit and had a sandwich and a beer. I got really hot lying in the sunshine and the sea looked so tempting that I decided to go for the first swim of the year. It was cold, but once you were in it was fine.

We spent the day as beach bums and then went to see Rolf and Dolores. We got a demonstration of Rolf’s new Wingo model aircraft design. 170kmph when you point it at the ground, and it has some pretty cool acro moves too.

See photos of today.
