Turnpoints 2010

There are some significant changes to the BGA turnpoint list for 2010 that affect North Hill.

The most significant is the moving of the NHL turnpoint from the middle of the field to the hangar so a "tight" 300 to the East may no longer be a 300 at all - beware! Actually I don't think that any of our regular 300's will be affected but the 100km triangles were tight so may need a re-think - please double check before setting out on a badge flight.

OK, I've now had a chance to look at this and the only common task really affected is North Hill-Taunton-Yeovil-North Hill which is no longer 100km but just under! All our other normal tasks are still ok.

You can make some nice flat triangles using the CFI's new personal TP at Mudford Gate(MUD) as well - or you could landout there and pop in for tea while waiting for your retrieve!

Other changes include additional TP's to the West and Southwest, and a couple of control TP's at Hembury Hill and Culmstock to bring comp flights from the East around the Dunks DZ.

Honiton(HON) has been deleted due to it's proximity to the Exeter aproach path.

I will put a list of the changes significant to North Hill on the x-country board tomorrow.
