Condor Racing
Another ridge running task in the Alps, with thermals if necessary, but this time there were 13 turnpoints to gather along the way.
It started off quite well with the usual leaders out front and selecting the optimum routes along the multitude of ridge options.
But the late, low sun on the Jura Mont Blanc scenery led to some unexpected problems when the mountain side turned into a dark crevasse. Those that were slightly below the top going for speed had difficulty with the side of the mountain in deep shadow!
But it was an excellent learning opportunity and new attempts at the flight with that knowledge have proved successful. - J&P
