I am back in Barcelona, the sun is still shining, the birds are singing, its flyable everywhere and I am packing ready to head to Austria tomorrow and the next day ... its a looooong drive! And knowing my luck it probably won't be flyable at all! ;-)

I am hoping for sunshine and thermals since I am to get my mitts on the first small size AirDesign 'Pure' to be born ... the wing looks beautiful, hopefully I'll be able to post my impressions here soon :)

Àger has shown her many faces this weekend and was one of the few flyable places in Spain! 

Catalunya - the only place in Spain (and most of Europe)  that is sunny!

The sky of my dreams on Friday, getting bumped around the sky in the 'levante' on Saturday and watching from the safety of the ground on Sunday as the local hereos, nearly became zeroes by trying to outwit a full-on Easterley.
Its wasn't nice to watch, we all felt sick as the pilot's feet lifted higher than his head with the force of the gusts and rotor and it seemed he would be tipped over backwards stalling the wing in the process as he tried to stay head-up.
I had been explaining the previous day why Easterly isn't a good direction here - we were treated to a full close-up demonstration of all the reasons not to fly.
Needless to say, Mark, Nils and I were completely Zen about the whole thing and ran bravely away for dinner of more calçots and vino! ;-)
Its been a great weekend with old friends and new friends ... the most 'outstanding commute to work' award must go to Mark, who works in Interlaken, catching people at the bottom of  a canyon! He goes to work upside down on the end of a rope ...how mad is that!! ;-)
