Friday Morning
Friday dawned clear and I had to pick up Lynda from Geneva. We were back in time for a flight at Plan Fait. Lynda managed 40 odd minutes in the light thermals and I came down after an hour and a half of light delicate thermalling. A good start and it looked even better for Saturday.

Saturday’s plans were to begin with a walk up to the Entrevernes take off just to sample the morning air. It was brilliant – a light breeze on the slope to help us off. Lynda flew around chasing the lift and landed at the Doussard landing field. I cruised the ridge for a while and landed to collect the car.
Things just kept getting better. We went back to the house for a quick lunch, picked up Kat and Mark and headed for Plan Fait. The sun was high and pilots were climbing to the Dent de Lanfon. We joined them flew a while then landed in time for a late afternoon flight home from Montmin. Three beautiful flights and time now to prepare the bonfire, fireworks and BBQ. Enjoy the Gallery and you’ll get an idea of how it all went. Sunday proved different but equally special so I’m doing a separate Post.
