Nick, John and Matthew travelled to Denbigh with the Eagle, and took
part in Comp Enterprise and outsoared white gliders for a while..only
for a while! Very very rough great wave for some - 19000ft for one, but we stayed
safe and low! The task was set as 'Quadrant Conundrum' - With
LLE as the centre you had to fly into each of the quadrants NE SE SW NW
doing an O/R, score one point per km in quad 1 then 2 pts in quad 2, 3
in the third etc. 20 points per Thousand feet of height gain. Hope that
makes sense! With 40kt + winds and rotor, Eagle was at a disadvantage vs
the Arcus brigade
