Condor Racing
Today's task was a rerun of Friday's excusion - mainly ridge-running task round the lakes in Switzerland, Meiringen - Gruyeres - Bern - Meirengen 172kms, David Clements Geoff Lawrence, Jill and Pete Harmer and Stewart Henshall took part with everyone hoping to do it better than Friday.

| On the ridges initially (David Clements) |
Stewart gave a briefing on where we had got it wrong last week and where we could hopefully improve...

| David dumping water at the finish |
The idea was to take more height on the initial ridges in the hope that we could stay higher for the sometimes fickle thermals on the flatland and a little re-routing was also explored.
 |
| Harmers get back eventually |
The concept worked well on the ridges, with David completing at over 100kph, Geoff followed in behind, but Pete and Jill got stuck on the same low-level hillock at Bern Turnpoint 2. With Stewart they patiently waited for the thermal to appear and all scurried home. - Come and join us, next race Wednesday 14:00. -J&P
