Condor Racing
The Club task today was 106kms HHL-MUD-OKE-HHL with a variety of K6s, K21s and a Blanik and the 7 regulars. The cloudbase was around 4000ft with normal thermals and a light northwesterly wind.
Once everyone was established at a reasonable start height, Dan led off to 'mark thermals' but he wasn't hanging around. The first leg to Mudford Gate was straightforward, and everyone pressed on to Okehampton with another fairly easy run.
The final leg home had some large blue gaps with quite heavy sink, but fortunately some nice new clouds appeared at the right time on track.
Unfortunately, the final results were lost when Dan had to rush off for tea and tripped over a lead having finished. Nice local task. - J&P
In the evening, Dan and Stewart competed in the Condor World Cup finishing mid-table out of 112 competitors who completed the 256kms task in the Pyranees, Good effort, only 17 of the 24 races count in this long-running competition (Thursday and Sunday evenings til end of March.)
