Last day

Weather good - perhaps not as good as expected? Still the biggest task of the comp I think? Can't see task sheet at moment!

Plane on lake

I heard the circuit call for a plane leaning on the lake at the end of the runway; hoped it was this one!

A good looking day

And hopefully no outlandings today. Yesterday most people outlanded.

Cancelled

Still waiting and looking back at grid!

Still waiting...

As you can see - there is a change; however also considerable wind gradient at present. And the base doesn't look that high?

Gridded & waiting

After 3 non fly able days, today is possible later. We await the weather changing !

Back to Rayskala

At camping ground having curry- you won't believe it- it's raining again. We rigged the glider again.

Out landing and rain

Allan & Matt Outlanded and then it rained heavily: different fields- but both stuck. We also got Charlie's 4Wd stuck - it's a skoda all wheel with road tyres. Tractor got car and glider out! Bottle of Wodka to the farmer!

Oh oh

Hmmm

Storm in drop zone- they'll be able to stay up, but will it spread over us and rain? We will see!

Finally a good looking sky

Storm passing

Day cancelled

Sunny

There was blue sky! It is sunny, but the sun is regenerating the rain I think. First launch now delayed to 14:00 : I'm getting ready to put my raincoat on again...

It has now rained... Once

First launch delayed...

First take off 13:00

In 45 mins- grid is over there ... Under the approaching heavy rain!

Gridded

And the view looks ok one way. We may have rain come thru, then out should be ok!

Groundhog Day

No picture- as we all know what rain looks like. It rained all night, and will probably rain all day...
