Day 2 - Portugal, Serra da Estrella, Manteigas BRITISH OPEN


Saturday 29th June
As the northerly was forecast strong, breakfast became a lazy affair. Meeting up with fellow team-mates Emile Van Wyk and Adrian Thomas, we drove to HQ and met with the organisation, then to the main take off to check out the conditions and what the site had to offer. We were not disappointed.
Taking in the far-reaching views of the national park’s plateau, rolling hills leading to the flatter plain, and also witnessing the largest dust -devil I had ever seen the size of a watchtower.
The afternoon was spent in the shade of the cherry trees on the lawn with intermittent swims in the river.
Registrations and uploads completed by 7pm, followed by dinner. The weather is hot, very hot. 33°C and rising as the week progresses.
