Task 1 - 62k ridge run below the clouds

Cats cradle around the valley is case they needed to cancel due to conditions.  As always lots of people milling around at cloudbase waiting for the first start.

Luke down 0.5 k short of goal due to Valley wind, Tim down 1k short of last turn point.  Paul now landed and Andy tried to steal my hedge proximity record.  Personally very pleased.  stand up landing and first Brit on goal.

Waiting to hear about Kathleen who has landed out.  Bad news just hearths Tim is injured more details when we hear some.

The mod ship is open

Andy is getting slippery again having been inspired by Felix's new keel and the 3000 euro price tag.

Too ambitous

So Nev has set a 38 mile triangle and i've gone for my ambitious 80k flight again.  And again I fail to get to the first turn point.  After nearly decking it I give up and rush over to the west just north of Frome and then back to Westbury with loads to spare. 

Working it at Westbury

Still at the White Horse

Why's it always so blue short of my first turnpoint? Scrabbling out of a hole past Melksham

A much better view of Westbury

On the way at last...

I'm going to have to learn to not set an over ambitious into wind leg. With the correct plan an 80k+ triangle was easily doable on Saturday.  So have now defined one with a minimal into wind leg at 68k using westbury as a remote start to optimise the cross wind elements... Now all I need is another good westbury day.
