Day 1 Task 1
You can really rely on Roldanillo - it will be grey and damp in the early morning as I try to wake up at a ridiculously early time, some blue bits will start to show as we go up to the mountain at 07:30.
By the time we get there cloud base will have risen to completely cover the launch and we will sit in cloud during the next hour or so.
Then after a few tentative glimpses of the valley base lifts and we have sunshine and fluffy clouds ...
Thats the way it goes day by day ... :)

So, today's story ...
Get up at 06:00, look out the window. See that the above description is true again!
Up to take-off, a general safety briefing with all the 'boring' rules, technicalities, penalties and do's & dont's of flying a competition here. After that with Adam, Hugo & Jonathon set a provisional task, wait a while to see how conditions improve, revise things a little & off we go!

The SuperGirl Cafe at launch

Today's task was a 55km (approx) race starting in Roldanillo, then north to Higuironcito, cross the valley to La Paila and goal in Obando at the airstrip.
The conditions at start were light & put a few on the ground but quickly improved into a great Rolda day. The top 3 pilots made it into goal probably 20 minutes in front of the next gaggle and were followed by maybe 40 more.
Lots of happy sunburnt faces in the goal field and thanks for a good task :)

The armada arrives in goal :)
