As promised, they invented a new turnpoint today which meant that a direct route was over some pretty high rocky stuff. And so it seems there were two classes today; those that managed to get high and fly straight(ish) lines, and those that didn’t crack a climb at the right time and were obliged to take the scenic route. Unfortunately I was one of the latter and finished just out of the points. But it was still a lot more fun than the last couple of days. Occasionally we even had altitude above the terrain. This airfield may be small and there certainly are issues with operating in a city but it certainly is well set up. And we are really well looked after…

Tonight we went downtown for dinner. Through the peak hour traffic and across the freeway interchange of death without even having to part with any more pesos. I don't think anyone here stays home to eat. There were quite literally hundreds of restaurants, most of them full to bursting. Quite a busy place. Tomorrow is promised to be a cracker of a day. Bring it on.
Hi Sexy,
ReplyDeleteOoohh, how nice to be able to relax on a chaise lounge...at a gliding club - very stylish!!!
Adelaide is in the midst of yet another heat wave. 40C today and looks like it will continue for at least another 3 days. I woke up at 5am and watched you on the live tracking. Was fantasic to watch; however, I didn't like the valley between turnpoints 1 & 2!!
Hope you have a safe and great day flying tomorrow - enjoy!
