Also the hang gliding worlds task today in France, at Laragne, was canned.
And back in the UK, I was considering going out this morning, but it was very cloudy, and started raining. Eventually cleared up, but then windy. Malverns also seemed to be blown out, though they might have flown in the Peaks – Andy went out for a look anyway. I did some conference work.
We seem to be stuck with this weather pattern for the rest of this week.
Judith writes: Windy so no task. I had told Dave about the pre-historic Iron Age hill fort near Avila and he was keen to go, as were his house mates. I spent a lovely day with Dave, Mo, Tony and Naomi eating tapas and then spending four hours wandering around Ulaca. It’s a stunning place. Photos to follow.
Then off to a BBQ with the Northern Irish and Scottish lads.

It was peachy at Mam Tor, then at around 2.30pm it started to look very black just to the south and got quite rough. I remembered Geoff telling me it was raining earlier at the Mynd, and thought the rain was about to pounce on us too, so bottom landed.
But it only dropped one spot of rain on us in the landing field! Then the blackness receded and it became nicely flyable again.
Weird weather – more like the tropics!
