Geoff writes: forecast was for it to get cloudier during the day, but they got the timing wrong, it started off cloudy, but then got sunnier. After a morning of work, we decided to give Santa Brigida a try. The wind machines were giving SE, and it seemed like a good bet. And the flying was very pleasant. A bit thermic, wind just right, but not mindless soaring, sometimes it would switch off and we had to work hard to stay up. It was just the two of us, since most of the mid week flyers seem to be less and less available – a shame really.

Anyway, it was a fun day, well worth the trip out. A bit cold – very cold actually – though the forecast for Friday is 19C. Which is great in one sense, but not that good for skiing, which we had planned to do then. We’ll see, will probably go anyway.
