After a 12hour (1300km) drive from Barcelona, I arrived in Algo in the rain. It had rained all day on the 23rd but that was the last we saw of the wet stuff for the whole week :-)Each day it was harder to believe it was December - blue sky, sunshine & thermals - some with sharp edges, others lovely and gentle taking us up to base in the convergence. XC flying with battalions of vultures marking the cores and the Czech paragliding team leading the way. It started to look like a competition launch with 30+ gliders of the generally skinny variety. Noche Vieja was a cava drenched riot in the town square followed by too much of everything at JJ's bar. The league of nations had gathered to party the night away - dutch, english, spanish, czech, scottish, norweigan, german and many more..... Lots of sore heads the next day and another 12 hours drive for me......
