Filled up our boots, again.

Conditions pretty strange today. At Reconco it was snowing ! Honestly, those white little things falling down the sky. Su buggered off to Palomaret.

Huge black clouds in the back, was it ok ? Don't know.

Had to get nearer. Turned radio on and asked if there was anybody at take off. Yes Nick, it is good, 15 km per hour etc... . Then why is nobody in the air ? There are two in the air but dissapeared in the cloud. Holy shit.

But no panic, it was all controlable. The clouds weren't that angry actually, you could just choose, wether you wanted to get into them or not. Like Justin did, he climbed up to cloudbase, his voice screaming in the radio, together with his vario, YEEEEEES I AM 4000 FEET ABOVE TAKE OFF !!!!
A happy man way up there.
His friends : we can't hear you, hello ?
Later in the retrieve bus :
Simon : hey guys, I had rain up there.
Justin : I HAD SNOW !

Well lets repeat, we all had a great time, thermalling, filling up our boots (where does that saying come from, anybody ?).

We just had a coffee break at 4 pm, doyouwanna know why ? Hail ! Yes, those icecubes falling out of the sky. But only for a little while, after our coffee and tapa, we went up and had our second half of flying.

No complaints from us I guess.

Lennart, Tony and in the back Nick. Not me, other Nick.


The suspects.
