Jaca Week 3 Day 5

Hooray! the good weather has returned for the rest of the week, with good thermals to 9500 feet. Four members of the group exploited the day until 17:00 when the sun's heat was obscured by an increasing band of high cloud just as the floater (Bob No.2) launched on a wave of optimism just to practice a controlled descent in the bowels of the mountain until gravity finally won.

Before flying we decided that we would have a group dinner tonight in the instructor's apartment. This required a degree of organisation that the instructors were unfamiliar with so Morag had to step in and act as a quantity surveyor and budget controller to ensure that no more than 3 Euros per head was spent per guest. It is suprising how many  people can be fitted into a small apartment, though it did require the use of all the furniture from the apartment below. Merv and Peter carried the whole dining table up the stairs to the threshold of the kitchen only to discover that it wouldn't fit and that it would have been a whole lot easier if they had been legless. Some might say that they already were.
