Condor Racing
It was a first trip to Greece for most, joining a Condor cafe flight on Wednesday, with 6 DSGC regulars joining the 16 multinational cafe pilots (we had our own English-speaking channel).
The task looked a fairly straightforward 148kms ridge run with the option of some thermals, however it was clear from the start that the weather had been carefully selected with large Cumulus clouds forming on the ridge at the start. DSGC decided to wait until the clouds had cleared - but they didn't!, so it was a dirty dash through / round / over / under to get past the very moist area.
With the ridge not playing ball on the first leg, the first turnpoint was tricky to achieve, with thermals that weren't getting very high the only method.
For the second leg some low hills by a lake were used and then thermals seem to be more helpful popping up to allow a final glide, although some preferred the foothills. - A tricky little task with Stewart coming 3rd overall. - J&P
