The fool on the hill

Hedging my bets

Lots of dust devils on launch. My glider was turned over along with Trevor’s and Andy’s. No damage.
That one also took away my map - I lost sight of it as it climbed higher and higher. Must have gone up a couple of thousand feet.
The task goal at Dos Caminas 70km to the south. I took off late and tried to catch the others but failed. Landed near Los Moros - rocks and and bare scrubby pasture. Dicey landing onto a hedge about 1km from road. Carried kit as far as I could until stopped by ‘houses’ - peasants shacks in reality. One of them let me through his barbed wire fence. I was so hot I felt ill. I couldn’t move my glider another inch so left it there and Luis took me down the road where I bought a couple of beers for us.
