Lazy day

Well, what was supposed to be another tricky flying day took a different turn when the organisers called the task off, something to do with the howling wind and thermals, making a roller coaster of a sky. Time to catch up on some meditation.



See the flag on the right of the Aeroprakts. Nice plane, really noisy though - you can pick it out from the other planes when it's starting up.



Several of us took the opportunity to get away from the airfield and there's a good swimming pool nearby. Others sat in the shade (it's hot out of the wind) and chatted. Here's Rob Grimwood's fiancée Louise with Malcolm on her left. Malcolm forms half of a team, last year they were known as the Chuckle Brothers or International Rescue, they fetch, carry, cook, clean, and generally make life a little easier for us all. Another addition to camp is Naomi, she was official cook and helper last year, this year she's official girlfriend to Chris. I'll see if she succeeds in avoiding the camera too.



And below is Malcolm. The wind has died a little, the organisers have announced a spot landing task, first take off in 15 minutes so we'd better get going.
