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.
