I would tell you how great the BP Cup was at the Long Mynd but unfortunately it did't work out that great for me. I probably landed very close to where I took off which doesn't really work in a comp. Never mind maybe I'll do better at the next round.
The camper van was still in Madrid just as I left it. I spent the night there again was woken by the sound of diggers, construction workers and the like from the field next door. Decided to make my way to Ager and if I found a campsite on the way I would stop over. Didn't think there was a rush as it was looking windy anyway. As it was I didn't find a campsite on the way so at about 8pm got to Ager and found the campsite.
Friday 24th was too windy to fly so I went out on my bike and swam in the pool. Saturday 25th I had two flights :-) Both quite short but very enjoyable all the same. The first flight I had a little collapse and didn't think much of it but my hands were a little shakey for a minute. Flew in the evening it was very smooth but not a lot of lift. Today had a flight and I managed to find a thermal and stayed in it. Hooray at last I can do it! Took some photos too.
Had a flight on Sunday 25th again wasn't a long one but I did get a nice thermal from the lower ridge and worked it back up to take off height. In the afternoon went with Nicky and Mark for a swim in the Lake that you can see in the photo above.
