\"\"The consensus today was to go to Sant Pere de Rodes<\/a>, but on waking up the forecast had changed to north, with a moderate tramuntana wind north of the Cap de Begur. Nicky and I wanted to have a harness fiddling session, and Sant Pere de Rodes<\/a> seemed far from guaranteed, so we decided to stay local.<\/p>\n

The rush was off, so we went to the tree house in Argelaguer first. Merlin, the mad puppy, was so excited he was running around the maze like, well, a mad puppy. It’s changed again, and I was confident I could find dog-friendly routes through the place, only to be stumped by dead ends.<\/p>\n

We headed out to Santa Brigida<\/a> and after a spot of lunch I finally fitted the pod to my Impress harness (with a little help from the expert). I launched and couldn’t get into the harness at all. So a scoot round, top-land, quick adjust and off again. I managed to get into it by opening it with my hand, but by this time I had done a full 360 degree turn without looking where I was going. I did manage to practice a few times, but on top landing I got some more tips from Nicky on how to get in easier and also on how to improve my launches, so a very productive day in all. I like the pod and will get used to it pretty quickly. I now just need to sort out the new flight deck so I can see it easily!<\/p>\n

Turns out that they had an excellent day at the coast, but I am pleased with what we did. It’ll give me a chance to learn more about the glider\/harness before the season starts.<\/p>\n
