Today dawned with the same anti-cyclonic weather as yesterday and Bob and I decided that we should launch first to set an example to the others who did not seem to enthusiastic to launch.

However, as we found ourselves surrounded by vultures, trees, rocks etc we discovered that perhaps the others reluctance to launch was understandable.

A last ditch attempt over the gorge, the small hill and even the village yielded no lift and attempting to slipstream 431 as it passed by on tow did not help either so we landed back.

Needless to say, everyone who launched after us got away.

Glyn, now airworthy again; managed nearly an hour and a half getting as far as stage two with Clive. 

Roger took off with Bob in 755, and stayed up for an hour beating yesterday's time.  Steven, with Clive managed to get past the firebreak.

But, the real soaring stars today were Bob and Stewart who got to stage three and here's the proof...

Tomorrow is another day...
