For months we’ve been saying we would go over to fly the French sites with
Udo and Jenny, and as always, it got pushed to the end of our stay. We set off early to meet up at Ceret, but it was breezy when we got there. Udo and Jenny arrived with their guests Ruth and Rob from Winchester. Amazingly, this meant equal numbers of male and female pilots – very unusual. We sat it out, did some ground handling, had lunch, chatted and assumed it would drop as the afternoon wore on. By 4pm the wind was picking up and the gusts were really, really strong. Wave started to set up and it all looked a bit unlikely. By 5pm the wind dropped and we went up for a flight. On top it was completely and utterly nil wind.

We all got off ok, flew down and landed for a beer with an amazing sunset as a backdrop.
