Dan wasn’t flying today, he has his fingers crossed for the predicted better weather tomorrow.
With the poor forecast last night, many of the Junior pilots played ‘Met Roulette’, deciding to enjoy the clubbing delights of Bristol instead… they lost!
Only 38 on the grid today (Sally Hender)
So of the 50 competing gliders only 38 made it to the grid! With just an 80km task set, there were delays from 12:00 onwards, the sniffer went out at 1pm, with the grid finally starting to launch at 2:30pm. The start gate eventually opened at about 4pm but of the 38 solo gliders, 29 landed out!!!!
There was rather a lot of analysis during the evening, and some late evening meals! - Sally Hender
