Condor Racing

With Stewart Henshall being called back to the non-virtual world, Dan Hender stepped up to select and lead today's task - It was a 206km ridge running task in Austria starting and finishing at Noestch.

There were three tricky bits,  at the first turnpoint the mountains were at 7000ft and a thermal was needed to get enough height to make the turn, but the cumulus clouds had all decided to disappear at the time. The second turnpoint was up a 6km  dead-end valley into wind and  in heavy sink. The route to the finish was via a shortcut that Dan had explored at "low level" previously. 

 

Simon is blown away with the realism of the VR Oculus Rift S, And it all worked out well  thanks to Dan's briefing and shepherding.
