Another good flying day was predicted at Gransden Lodge today, with similar weather to yesterday, but less bumpy! The grid was set up at 8am again, and the briefing set a task of 150km, this time there was less distance into wind!
Unfortunately, Rob and I missed Dan’s launch by seconds, due to a mistimed visit to the Supermarket!!! (Gliding or wine??🤔). However, we again spent an afternoon sat in the sun watching his progress on glide and seek, wine sitting unopened in case of a land out, need to be able to give the farmer something!
Back on the airfield today (Sally Hender)
It was a good flight, Dan set off after waiting longer this time, letting others mark the lift for him. Although Dan was again in the leading pack after the second turnpoint (RDN, Rattlesden). Coming back third to the airfield, unfortunately 32ft below the finish line, for which he was awarded 32 penalty points!
Straight in approach (Sally Hender)
He finished in 23rd place out of 40, with only a few landing out. Another great day. - Sally Hender
