Friday 13th - Davies Diary La Motte

Again not good enough for 'awesome' but we'll get Courtney in the Tamar soon.

Wave at 5000m which eluded us all. However I had a pleasant 1 1/2 hr flight in a twin astir. 3000m and working on ridges which kicked off some strong thermals. Local flying getting just 20 k from the site. The sun shone most of the day and now we start the BBQ with drinks on Timo to celebrate his 900 k. -Wyn

 

Ok, as I hear it from back home, people are suffering from 'low cloud base disease' which some instructors are suffering heavily from. So they should stop reading here as the effect maybe fatal.

Today, I had an amazing day - the best so far. First as yesterday was sunbathing weather I didn't fly ( even if it would be a good day for North Hill). I flew in the afternoon for a three and a half hour flight ( if you heart beat as increased please stop here as you are suffering from 'low cloud base disease'). It was scratchy to start with to get out of the bowl that surrounds the airfield, when we got out then we went to the mountains south of the airfield gently, getting higher and higher. Then we went to the Parcour, then  along down south of it to see the places to land if we got low. Then we when back back up the Parcour and the vario didn't go down off maximum for about
10 minutes flying along the ridge. Then we crossed the lake to the other side. We climbed to cloud base after we found the wave but it was weak. - at 3000m. Then a gentle final glide back to La Motte. - Rhodri
