Finally!!! ...   Welcome to FLYING land :))))))

We tasked, we flew, we had lots of happy goal pilots :)
In the car to launch we talked with Gin, Pepe and Denis of a task that would take pilots away from the mountains and wind as early as possible and into the flatlands to the south.
To reduced time in the strongest and most turbulent air in the valley we set the start close to the launch / landing area and then away. Some pilots climbed to over 3000m before start and made an easy crossing to the flats, those lower had more wind to contend with but generally without many in-flight incidents. 1 japanese pilot threw a reserve and landed totally unhurt, though the roof he fell through was slightly more battered!! It must have been a schwarzneger type moment for the farmer sitting in his house - when a large Japanese ''dropped in to say hello" and sat swinging in his harness inside the room!
1 more reserve was thrown on final glide close to goal but the pilot landed without any damage.
A few dramas on launch had gliders decorating the small bushes below the take-off but no-one was physically injured - pride, however took a bashing in a few cases!
A number of visits to airspace left pilots with zero points but in general the feeling was of a great task with lots in goal.
