Condor Racing

The North Hill Soaring Group (Condor) set off on an expedition to Nympsfield on Sunday to explore the ridge to the north.


113km NYN (Nympsfield) - BIR(Birdlip) - LCL(Lower Clopton) - BIR(Birdlip) - NY1(Nympsfield Finish) with the wind set at 300 / 20 kts.

 

Ten Condor Racers lined up for a winch launch mainly in Discus2a's and then set off with a start height below 1500ft. The height needed to be carefully managed with gaps to cross into wind and jumping ridges, but coached by Stewart, everyone completed the out and return successfully. Dan was fastest in 1hr 2mins, but the next batch weren't far behind, although some did have to top up on the home ridge to make the finish height. Great company - Well done everyone - J&P
