We opened the conference this morning and were busy until late lunch time. However, we had to collect our car from the garage at some point and the weather was so nice, it seemed only fair that we could take an extended lunch break and go for a quick fly. It was a startlingly blue sky, but very windy in and around Castellfollit. There was some evidence of north/west wind on the way, although it was getting weaker so we carried on driving. We met Marc at Santa Brigida and the wind was on the hill enough for us to drive up to try it out.

It was one of those days when it was different in the valley than it was on the hill, and that concerned us. Not only did the direction in the valley change at times by 180 degrees, but the wind strength was much higher at the bottom than at the top – so the reverse to what it should really be. All this served as a warning signal to us, but Marc decided to try it, but he sunk out quickly and just did an extended top to bottom in the end. We didn’t bother, but rushed home to carry on working.
