Fiday 26th - Day 6 | |
So, finally the real weather arrives.
Todays forecast is for better conditions to the west with 4 to 6 kt thermals and cloudbases from 5500 rising to over 11000' in the high country to the south. Unfortunately there's also a predicted chance of over development in these areas and weak convection ...

Well, the forecast was for a blue day topping out at 4500 to 5000' and thats pretty much what we got. Tasks were set with this in mind but its allways a bit of a lottery on days like this.
The Open / 18m class almost managed a full value ...
