Day 1 of the PWC, reports of possible storm clouds hidden by the other stratus (flat featureless clouds) meant the task was cancelled. This was the right decision. Some people flew down and as the rest of us packed we heard the thunder from the valley behind!
Monday day 2
We had an excellent task today with the meet director reacting quickly to the changing weather and setting a new task. 104km task with three turnpoints. A coach full of hapy pilots made goal! Unfortunately Alex Coltman had to throw his reserve on his R10 wing. He landed safely and I have not spoken to him to see what happened yet! Let's hope he can get his reserve parachute re packed quickly so he can fly tomorrow. The weather is looking good for the rest of the week so fingers crossed for some more good flying!!
Update: I came in the 40's, Adrian Thomas finished 12th and loads in goal. In this level of comp 10 mins means the difference between 1st and 41st!!
