Sun in UK and rain in Austria!!!


Most of the British team have arrived today, it's now a full and crazy house with lots of technical stuff going on. Sorting, Austrian phones, radio frequencies, downloads and the like. Discussing our paragliders behaiviour etc. Some pilots haven't even been able to test fly their wings. Many are arriving today so they've no idea what they're like. Adrian and Kirsty are looking for thiers, they have no idea, even of it's colour....... so much for preparation.
The town is filling up with other teams from across Europe. Apparantly the website shows our locations on Google Earth. We can find the French or Swiss team's houses just by going online!! Messages are left on the tags so there's no need to go out!
Our Team kit is very nice, especially the Team Jackets made from Soft Shell with embroidered logo's. Two T-shirts and a fleece. I am to be the flag bearer, mainly because nobody else wants to do it. Lets hope the town has arranged kids for the opening ceremony, that should get me out of doing it. The town seem to be very organised and the opening ceremony should be a good event.
Weather looks iffy tomorrow but flyable on Monday...... however.... not too good after that :-(The curse of 30 European nations coming together is upon us and we might get rained on all fortnight. Typical
