Geoff writes: warm (19C), sunny, thermic. There’s a big area of high pressure here, pushing all the bad weather north. We did some work in the morning, then went to Santa Brigida (mostly because we were short of time) and flew with Marc and Oriol. A nice, technical, Santa Brigida day, with lots of lift, and some big sink cycles. We got very low down during one of them. Three of us scratching and thermalling very close together, very close to the trees and to the rocks …. for one person it would have been tricky, for three it was much harder. Judith and I managed to scrape back up, Oriol had to bottom land, as did Marc later on when he went too far out in front and didn’t make it back high enough to scratch back up.

So we ended up on top, with the usual beer and sandwich, before taking Marc’s car down.
