After such an excellent first day and the promise of 2 more very good days on Monday and Tuesday, it was felt best to set a 3 hour limit on today’s flying. The weather also suggested this the best option and so it turned out. Those that set off early got the best out of the day. The wind was quite a feature becoming 20/25 knots making flying extremely bumpy and controlling gliders a challenge. Cloud base was around 2,500ft and a number didn’t make it back due to the increasing wind and cloud cover.

 

The furthest distance of 178k and reaching 5 TPs was flown by Justin, winning him the day, again. 5 others exceeded 100k.  But Competition Enterprise rules state that a pilot can only be a Day Winner once so today David McCarthy and Sandy Hawkyard collected the bottle being just 36 points behind Justin in their Duo Discus.

 

Total distance flown by 19 pilots was 1606k with 9 getting home.
