Late take off then nice conditions to Barco
Quite a slow start to the day, with little coming through til 3pm, then the wind becoming problematic and lighter and threatening to come over the back. I had a few aborted launches on the upper take off, having to go off below the road in the end. We soon got into a cracking climb with Graham, Kenny, John and Adam over the Chalets. Unfortunately back at launch conditions became even lighter, and Alex managed to wipe out 2 uprights on his Aeros Target hang glider while attempting a launch from the lower launch….Never mind he has 2 more spare, which should last him a few days more?
John Landed after about 14km, but the rest of us go an amazing climb at 3.5m/s average which allowed some of us to get to the goal of the day – Ice cream in Barco.
Teclas made another drawing of Grahams cravat day. The jitters came back and haunted him today as well on the way to Barco.
