The Beast With Two Heads Flies Again


Big breky not too early as usual and go off to meet Montse, my front crash protection, or tandem passenger, as I’m sure she would rather be referred. The weather today is beautiful like one of the best days of summer and, although it’s light wind now at midday or so things are bound to turn on soon as it’s absolutely roasting. Jose is in his usual spot in the l.z along with a half dozen others and we chill out waiting for it to switch on properly including our friend Pache who hasn’t been up lately and is keen to work some more on his accro. As I have mentioned before the launch is only about a quarter of the way up the mountain here such is the force of the vertical hurricanes that blow up the face once it’s on. We do our best to look clever in front of her when she asks exactly we are waiting for, and make a huge meal, as I’m sure it has been done by pilots to non pilots all over the world, of saying there’s no wind. I’m sure Stephen Hawkin has given shorter lectures on quantum physics.
