Sun 6th July - Competition Enterprise 2025

After Saturday was scrubbed, there was hope for today and better weather, however at the briefing they advised it wasn’t forecast until later in the afternoon. And a task was set - "Rock around the Clock".  

CE25 Sunday grid (Marc Corrance)

 

The grid started launching at 3pm, with Dan just fifth to launch. The only other pilot from North Hill to fly was Paul Medlock who cautiously started much further back the grid. 

Dan launching (Sally Hender)

 

Both flew achieving points for the day, Dan tried for a "sea-crossing", but unfortunately, was the wrong side of the Severn bridge even though he passed over water! He did manage three of the four sectors. and came 5th overall. 

Task 1 results 


Paul did very well for his first competition flight, getting 19th place out of 25 competitors who flew, managing two of the sectors.
