We seem to be losing it a little with the forecast…<\/p>\nWe seem to be losing it a little with the forecast…<\/p>\n
They predicted hot and sunny conditions with southerly winds on the Catalan forecast so we decided to hook up with Nicky and Tim again, and fly Puig d’Afrou<\/a> in the morning, have lunch and then fly at Santa Brigida<\/a> in the afternoon. It’s the standard plan for a weekend flying day round these parts. As we drove through Amer<\/a>, there was no wind but as we got to La Cellera<\/a> we could see the trees moving. There is a huge mound of earth and rubble in the landing field, but at least it was nice and calm. Nicky was being interviewed by an Irish radio station and they’d flown in a journalist specially, so she went off to Santa Brigida<\/a> and we would meet her there later.<\/p>\n We had a coffee and by the time we went outside again it was gusty with a strong wind from the north west. Everyone else was equally clueless as to why this should be. We decided to check out the conditions at Santa Brigida<\/a> (it’s not a magic mountain for nothing), but there it had aslo picked up and was howling. We all went to see Marc’s new house with a view of Puig d’Afrou<\/a> and then went home to do some work, because stupidly we hadn’t thought a Plan B was necessary today and hadn’t packed our swimming suits, buckets and spades.<\/p>\n
