 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.

Extreme grid squat - and scrub

For Sunday we have a small 100k task to the NW. We currently have cumulus under spreadout cumulus and cloudbase is 2300 QFE. The Sat Pic shows some gaps to the East so competitors have been asked to be ready to launch at 16:30.  Again the clearance came too little and too late so it was another SCRUB - followed by beers on the verandah.

Saturday grid and wait - then scrub

A HDT task set to the South, everyone is on the grid and we are waiting for the promised bit of good weather.  Better go and take some cheerful pilot photos.  We SCRUBBED in the end although the weather perked up a little. Cloudbase was just 2500 QFE and there were large poor areas near the airfield.

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...
