PURE relax in Piedechinche :)
Yesterday a group of us moved south to the site of the goal we used last week during the competition ... Piedechinche is one of my favourite relaxing places to fly here - stunning scenery, mountains, waterfalls, tropical plants and sooooo many flowers. There truely are 10,000 shades of green here in these mountains and maybe as many hibiscus & heliconia flowers in crasy shapes, colors and sizes!

Piedechinche - a beautiful site

Last evening & night storms raged across the valley lighting up the sky and waking up the local cockerels who seem to be existing on European time ... flash bangs and a cockerel chorus kept me awake until 6am. But thankfully its relax time & no need to get up for breakfast until 8am :)

Relaxing in 'Eden' as the storm begins!

With all the rain its was obvious that it would overdevelop early so while the group were making a recce flight & then relaunching I scooted out into the valley for some PURE relaxation, playing in soft thermals up to cloudbase and criss-crossing to see interesting lakes and villages and fly with the birds.
Flying is soooooo much FUN!
