Game on

Tension at take off as we wait for the off
James my new friend always ready with a cold beer at the goal field



Day one of the British Nationals was a good one with a 110 km task set taking us on a round trip of the main valley. Again things were a little fickle on launch with the wind switching. It was mainly a blue day although there were a few clouds by the last turnpoint. personally I had a super day moving along at a reasonable pace and joining up with Bruce K for a steady 100kph 12k glide into goal. On Landing I was greeted with a cold beer supplied by my new friend James who then helped me de rig before dragging me off to the pool for a cooling swim, all very civilised. Dunno the result yet but should be top 10. Pc suffered with an old skiing injury and after 3 hrs of flying landed in some pain, dont think he will fly a hanger again this holiday.

One glider tumbled but pilot ok after deploying chute and landing in a tree, strange as conditions were not that rough. Hopefully more tomorrow. Sorry still not sorted the picciess.....
