Michael flying towards good old Maigmo.

Boart taking off, Swiss pilot.

Shit happens.

today southwestern winds. Good day for Toix, but we choose Palomaret. At first too much southwestern winds from over El Cid. Didn't like it, Flyable oh yeah, but nice is something else, so after a while heading down to have a coffee with my group in the hacienda. Always a place taht brings back memories.

Once back up, still strong, even stronger. So another forced chill, parawait.

At 4 pm, breeze kicked in, more humidity in the air, El cid not so sharp looking, but more in a gaze. Kick off !

Impression of the day. Too busy. Lovely people, no worries, but Swedish school in the air, heard some Russian, some Brazilians and some Swiss pilots. We are one big happy family, but too much traffic, too stressfull at times.

I still think we should organise it all better as locals. We shouldn't let foreign schools just use our site just like that. It doesn't happen anywhere in the world. There should be a kind of contribution. A 10 euro each pilot a day or something ,then we could more easily take care of the take offs, clean up our sites. And listen then we wouldn't have to read on the international paragliding forum that we do have the worst places to fly in the world, because no windsocks, no clean up, no service. Oh well, who am I.

We all had a great time, but at times it was like flying in the M25 (is that a busy one ??)
