Rushup: to those left on the ground

“Had enough?” I’d just landed next to family and friends after a good couple of hours soaring, kiting and ground-skimming in the light lift. Enough? This was my first flight since last November! How can I possibly have had enough?

But their faces told me it was time to go. After all, it’s not fair watching someone else having so much fun. “OK”, I said through gritted teeth, “I’ll just fly down to the car”. At this point, Leo burst into tears at the thought of me vanishing back into the sky for an unreasonably long period of time. Sorry guys, but it just had to be done.
