Alptitude!

Rain as Forecast

Rainy day again, forecast to rain late morning and then continue. Dennis and Neil rushed upto Plan Praz, Chamonix to grab a swift bon plouf before the rain caught them up. They both managed a smooth partial soaring flight gently down to the Savoy Landing field. It’s been a shame that the weather has prevented Neil enjoying the whole area, but that’s paragliding?! he’s a chilled out sort, and enjoys it all whatever the weather.

They were back after a visit to Denis Cortella in Sallanches where Neil tried out a large Karmasutra II which he enjoyed, and looks like he may well decide on one later in the year. It was already raining by the time they got back home. Still raining now, but set to improve again towards the weekend.

No pics again I’m afraid, still no camera for me, apparently it’s due sometime in the next couple of weeks… frustration is beginning to build. I am borrowing Dennis’ camera when I remember or resorting to the mobile occassionally.
