Day 2 :
Weather 2 : World Cup 0

We tried but the wind Gods were stronger :(
The task committee of Seyong, Denis, Pepe, MrX and me came up with a 63km task with start at 14:00.
About 20 pilots were flying but strengthening thermals and slight crosswind made take off very difficult. After a few launches became close catastrophes we closed the launch and after 10 mins cancelled the task as the wind/thermals increased.
Pilots flying were reporting strong conditions ( level 1 in the valley but level 2 close to the mountains ) and when landing had to cope with turbulence close to the ground.
We tried to free-fly in the evening - many pilots haven't yet flown their new wings - but gusts of 48km+ kept most on the ground, though a few flew as the sun started setting.

Today we try again.
Its a beautiful sunny day with potential for strong climbs but the forecast has changed again with a prediction of high wind above 2000m and very high wind above 2300m.

Possibly we go to a smaller take-off in the flatlands.... a decision will be made at 9am.
