Week 2 Day 1

After rigging the Duo after yesterday's land away, we were forth and fifth in the queue when it was decided to change ends so a late start to the first day. Tom Newham flew with G and John Puchas with Merv for their intitial introduction to the delights of flying in the mountains at Sisteron. Both were suitable impressed with the scenery and the conditions. Also a slow change over to the Sisteron veterans - Julian Richardson and John Caton was effected between 16:00 and 17:00. John C and Merv had a tricky local soaring flight with thermals apparently side stepping at around 6000' and futile search for wave. Meanwhile, Julian and G had more success, finding the wave and most unusually landing after Merv for a change!
