Heavy cloud cover with drizzle and wind over the back did nothing
to dampen spirits, expectations and certainly not ambitions as the task
committee valiantly set, re-set and changed the task in order to give the field
some chance of a task. The resulting
chaos was characterised by diabolically slow climbs, multiple gloomy death
glides and comical attempts at level three calling by dozens of premature ‘landees’. In one hysterically incident a very well know
super-hero pilot (who shall remain nameless) was lined up to land and mischievously
called a level three for rain while our terribly tolerant meet director was
driving directly beneath him (within slapping distance) in the only sun
available all day. The day was barely
bright enough to read the numbers on gliders trying to cloud fly and yet most of the field
managed to cover roughly sixty kilometres with two or three getting into the
seventies.
The day was won by MichelS from AaronD and JulienW. First lady was Klaudia from Seiko & Laurie.
Team SA had mixed fortunes with st Kristoffel and Andre
landing with the main group with Moeg and Red a few miles back.
