Day 5:
Roldanillo - MeteoBlue forecast
Roldanillo- XCSkies forecast
The grumbles from yesterday have been ' formalised' - we have a complaint about lead-out points being awarded for yesterdays task. Looks like I have to do some work today, instead of just fun, fun, fun! ;-)

A 86km task (57km 'real' distance) is running and pilots are climbing everywhere ready for the12:00 start. Again, all pilots were in the air in less that 35 minutes.The first tp's keep pilots in the mountains while conditions improve before crossing the valley to Finca la Bonita and goal in Zarzal. More later...

A great day with high base and good climbs, though as always , it was technical in some places. Lots of happy smiley pilots are downloading now and reports from the goal marshall are of 80+ pilots in goal. A good day with more to come tomorrow :)

Task results here:
1. Stef Wyss SUI
2. Nick Greece USA
3. Xevi Bonet ESP

Overall after 5 tasks:
1. Eric Reed USA
2. Stef Wyss SUI
3. Brad Gunnuscio USA

It is a magical place where you cannot predict what will really happen , let alone what the weather will be like!!!

"Magical Realism", they call it...
