Back in Manilla

A fantastic day yesterday flying triangles around Manilla. We were playing in the sky, laughing & taking photos.The wind picked up from the south just as we tried to close the track so we didn't actually make it back to launch. Marc took the sensible route & landed next to the main road, while I did my normal trick trying to get that last elusive climb & had to walk out in 35degree heat. One day I might learn that there is a time to give up!
The hitch home with australias answer to Elvis was made even more bizarre when our driver starting telling us about his hobby of collecting venomous snakes & how he had just caught a 'Brown' the week before right where we were sat on the side on the road. We now know all about what we need to do & how long we have to do it in the event of a snake catastrophe. After the Eagles I'd like to keep my contact with Australian wildlife to a minimum!!
