Geoff writes: a flying day. The forecast was pretty good, warm, sunny, and south. We set off relatively early to Bellmunt, so Wayne and Mick could have a first flight, to see the ridge before the middle of the day when it’s much stronger. I launched first, and they followed, all of us landing for a retrieve by Judith, and a trip back up. Judith then flew first, followed by Wayne and me. It was a lot stronger this time, quite rough in places, easy to get above launch, Wayne getting 2000′ or so ATO. Base wasn’t high enough to go over the pass to Olot though. We flew for a while, then chose to land at the bottom.

Mick picked us up, and we went to Santa Brigida, for what we hoped would be a nice evening flight. The wind was quite strong when we arrived, but slowly dropped off, and eventually we all had a flight or two, followed by the usual beers.

Overall, a great day. Which is fortunate, since the weather is now starting to deteriorate.
