griffon vultures over cortijo al viento
Today was a day where paraglider pilots stay on the ground... we have had gusts well over 100kmh and were in danger of losing solar panels , chimneys and roof tiles
but the first time I have ever seen griffon vultures being blown backwards
a rarity here ! we had a flock of over 30 vultures pinned at the back of our house unable to gain height to cross the sierra estancias
They persevered for about 20mins until they gave up and flew further
west ,where we lost sight of them ,to try there

Saliente Skies
Combination of working in uk , crisis continuing in Spain
and a very wet and windy winter have meant we have been
quite ..but not dead ! back to a ever so green spring here
in Almeria and back in the air
Sprinting in Saliente
Chris hadnt flown for months....so we chucked him off first
and as he was going up and down a fair bit. we worked out
there might be some thermals around...

Weather to fly......
No messing about with Becky - we took off and caught
a thermal up, right above the take off
Here's Becky waiting on the ground
and in the air.
We were waiting for Jerry 'sprint'
on his new wing to catch up so we could fly together
Nice flight 6km down the ridge, flying with an eagle and landing
with my passenger who looks like
she is going to let me take the
all the weight!! Feet down next time Becky!
Thankfully the under-carriage went down
at the last moment for a perfect landing
Watching Sprint come and join us! Jess is keener
on the colour now she's seen it against that lovely blue sky
Flying Gin Sprints makes you smile!
