Update: that tricksy top cover proved to be a bit much for some pilots. Two competitor got round, 5 landed out - some almost back at Booker - and 4 bailed out and came home. The landouts are all safely back, apart from George's Pik which is locked in a field for the night.
Gliders gridded for mega Tuesday
Good forecast, briefing in progress and a 320k hdt to the Northeast has been set. Most gliders are half way around the course and conditions are excellent.

When the competition starts, .igc files should be emailed to bookerscorer@gmail.com or filed using one of the PCs in the clubhouse by right clicking the file(s) and usin...
