Competition Enterprise Day 2
Sunday's task was based around North / South / East / West lines centred on the Mynd. We had to turn one BGA turning point in each sector with 10 points for first sector, 20 for 2nd, 30 for 3rd and 40 for 4th plus additional points for distance.
The Long Mynd (JB)
With 13kts Northwesterly breeze the lovely Mynd ridge was working well and kicking off thermals, so staying up was easy. However conditions away from the ridge weren’t that good so Phil and JB in DD3 climbed as high as possible (about 2000ft QFE and nipped out to the nearest TP’s in each sector before scuttling back to the ridge for a top up.
Powys castle at Welshpool, but not a dragon in sight! (JB)
As the conditions improved later in the day they were able venture out to the west and into wales in search of dragons, but finding none turned Welshpool and headed back for a nice cup of tea!
It was an enjoyable flight resulting in 7th place for the day and overall. - JB
