A late start then very good (Barco and Back)

Light SE and blue thermals. A nice climb out at the Chalet for most, though not Tony, who somehow managed a safe landing in a difficult field in the forest. Gavin and Graham to Barco and back to Sta Maria, Brian to Sta Maria on the way along with Kevin. Tony at Barco on his second flight. The other chaps did not launch due to hangovers. I had a v.nice climb at Barco and another shared with Tony and Kevin on their way out as I was going back. Although ony 2600m max, the easiest out and back to Barco this year for me.
Superb evening conditions with strong climbs to around 2500m, though my tandem passenger spewed a lot of vomit just before the appooach which rather took the shine off the flight.
