Morocco 19th-26th Feb 2011
We have just got back from our spring trip to Morocco. It was fantastic! Flyable everyday with great food and company. It was a mixed group with Elementary pilots working through their club pilot tasks and qualified pilots refreshing their techniques and building up their airtime to be ready for the UK spring thermals.

Fantastic flying days in October.
It's getting to the end of the season but there has been some fantastic flying days in October.
Yesterday I climbed up high in some gentle thermals and soared along the ridges before coming into to help Maurice with the group of beginners.
