Rob and Ian. A titanic struggle.
In the friendly comp between Rob and Ian (reminiscent of Keith and Rod – See August), Rob today came out winner with a flight to Barco, and Ian dropping out at Santiago de Collado. Ian made the better flight yesterday, so Rob is only marginally ahead now.
Rob should thank Catherine who marked the thermals all the way for him, as well as one above here final landing fiels some13km along track. Fluffy also had a good start, but ended up in a tight field after Santiago.
Also today Chris and Jan had some good flights. They are new CP pilots, and have done nothing for 5 months after completing their CPs with Rob Mansley down in Algo. Both had good morning and evening flights, the latter with a little soaring. On the XC flight I took Jan to Barco on the tandem.

I don’t think you got yesterday’s response so I’ll try again. Looks as though the weather is super and pleased the flying is too. No surprise that Fluffy was “tight” in a field!!!

I’ve tried twice to send message via blog but failed! Just wanted to say that it was good to see Fluffy was still able to raise a pint to her lips after a busy day on Monday. Yesterday I wasn’t surprised to hear that she was “tight” in a field! Keep up the blog and good flying for the rest of the week.
