6 tasks flown in the Pre Europeans in what can only be described as average conditions for here - quite a bit of wind and pretty snotty climbs and bases around 2400-2800m. Its certainly not been classic Àger but shows what can be done here even when its not all totally splendid.
Jonny managed to stuff up the last task by bombing at 52km to let young Blay take the title with Martin Harri in 2nd & Carl Wallbank 3rd.
Its the British HG Championship this week, everything feels much more relaxed with only 60 alas on launch instead of 130.
Its also pretty cool seeing rigid wings competing here along with the flexy's...not that they look very flexible to my uninitiated eyes. They are all stiff & pointy in every direction as far as I can see! The cloud above launch at the start of the 1st task was 'interesting' a cumular-lenticular that kept forming & dissapating regularly.
The weather however looks like turning for the worst after tomorrow so I'd better get going up to fly before all goes to rats!
