Day 5. A 145k racing task.

Looks like a fast 145k task (double out and return to Chievely area) in a window of good weather. Blink and you'll miss it! First launch not before 11:30, but it could be then. Some top cover during the day but still convective. Frontal top cover later in the afternoon means a short race.

It was a day

Thanks to the Comp Team and another well timed launch we got a day out of it. As i write A9 logger is still to be scored. Congratulations to 949 on coming 1st .... oh no hold on, they are the ponts not the podium positions. Roll on Day 4.

Day 3. Competitors starting

We have a few starters, but also a few that have landed back and gone for tea.  The SpotTheGliders watchers can't decide whether 370 (Denis) or KCZ (Alex & Hamid) are in front. Either way, if there are points going KCZ should get a large share of them.

Day 3. First Launch 12:15

The Met Man has promised us a small window of opportunity. We have a 104k task that is very similar to the Booker 100k milk run ! First launch at 12:15. A couple of people have decided not to grid, but if the current conditions hold we should get finishers.
