Following a thoroughly wet and windy weekend, the regular Sunday evening Condor racing is growing in popularity. During the week, there were some small excursions to the Alps & Italian Lakes with mixed success. Back to North Hill for Sunday evening and six pilots lined up plus spectators, for a local navigation task.

No PDAs allowed and a good set of local turnpoints to get round - NH2- TIE-TIV-BAM-WEG-CLH-CLS- NHL, there were mixed abilities with pre- and post-solo pilots all in K21s and a couple of internet problems causing dropouts.

Matt Howard led off quickly and sped round the task following the energy, with just a slight delay as he had missed the elevated finish line, but even with the penalties he won the task. Second place was Chris Warnes and having finished, he came back down the track to assist those struggling back into wind. Stewart Henshall (fresh from success in the Andes) was also marking thermals shepherding the stragglers.
