Wrap up

Well what a fortnight. 12 days, over 50 hours flying and  4,400kms flown at between 111kph and 134kph. The weather was fabulous with cloudbases regularly over 10,000' and strong climbs. The food was excellent, the people friendly and the organisation of the comp itself was very good thanks to the Competition Director, Franca.

Flewett with flatulence and Dane frankly bored

 The drive is horrendous: 1200 miles each way taking three days in total. But it is well worth it. There can't be many places better suited to racing gliders. The tasks get very samey - but each day there's a new twist to the conditions and it really does become about finding better and better ways to shave time off. Once again it was a privilege to be flying with some great mates and excellent pilots. Roll on next year!
