Further updates

More traces have arrived over the past few days.  This has affected the scores, unfortunately I can't amend the championship results on the news page, which are now out of date for the fluffybunnies.  Please see the full results table for the most up to date values.

Provisional results available

There are now some provisional results.  I have mostly had to score based upon bar talk and a few of the traces I have seen.  Let me know if you want the traces removing from the web site.  Additionally if you disagree with any of the scores please let me know and I can adjust as required.  As this is only a bit of fun I don't need to see traces but they will be welcome.  I will take it on trust if people just let me know their time on task and/or speed.

We had a day

We had finishers in both classes.  The eggsplorers is an easy one to score.  At the time of writing I am only aware of 2 pilots flying the task.  The fluffybunnies is going to be a bit more of a challenge to score.  I have received a few traces and a few pilots have given me times/speeds that allow me to gustimate some scores.  Very provisional results will be out soon.

Another Scrub

Sadly we had to scrub the tasks again, another day of strong winds and very frequent squally showers.  There was some local flying but very little soaring.

Saturday Cancelled

Another day scrubbed as the wind went out of limits after some local flying in the morning. Tomorrow should be better than today but still windy, Monday looking ok at the moment.

Friday scrubbed

Wind was too strong on Friday and the day was scrubbed by Tim soon after briefing, Outlook for Saturday is poor from a XC perspective but might be just within limits for flying.  Hopeful for an improvement as the weekend progresses.

Get ready for the 2026 soaring season

This is the time to start getting ready for the 2026 soaring season.  Hopefully the weather will allow some early cross country training/practice or even some racing.
