Day 4
Organisation SMS "Day 4 cancelled. Prediction for Day 5 flyable" :)

In spite of wind and rain all morning we were confident that we would fly. More harness adjustments, lots of tea and coffee and pleadings to the weather Goddess and at 4pm we drove up to Dasklip expecting that there would be at least 20 people there. Wrong - just us!

Sunshine & shadows - evening soaring for 2

Anyway, it was short & sweet soaring together for about 10 minutes and then the wind picked up about 5-6 km/h more. Going forward on bar at max 6-8km/h against a very rocky ridge isn't my favourite place to be. Not going forward at times was even more exciting.
As the sun came through so did the thermals + the wind, so after sitting hovering through a few rainshowers I wussed out and headed towards the valley to try to land. It took a fair while to get my feet on the ground and eventhough it was short ploof it was so nice to be playing in the sky today, even briefly :)

The local farm kids helped me pack and taught me some Afrikaans dancing in the street while I waited to be rescued, again! ;-)
