Weather conditions on the first comp day looked considerably hazier than the epic last practice day. A 124km flat triangle to the north was set. Conditions early on gave us a low ceiling -...
Day 2. Another flat triangle to the north was set at 94km. Some pilots were feeling nervous about the forecast of reasonable wind (like yesterday), yet all but two pilots decided to fly anyway....
Day 3. Cancelled due to strong winds. Some pilots went free flying and many reported it as OK, but Sam Hull-Bailey landed downwind and injured his back. He is expected to fully recover in the next...
Day 5. Conditions were still not perfect but a 58km task to the south was considered sensible. It was completed in around an hour for the leaders, with Gary, Grant and Bruce Kavanagh taking the...
Day 6. A remote goal was set at 75km to the north-west of St. Andre, close to Laragne. Yesterday's winner Fabien was the only flexwing pilot to achieve goal. For various reasons the pool of rigid...
Day 7. With the weather improving, the last comp day saw a six-turnpoint task totalling 119km, predominantly flying to the west and returning to a goal at Thorame-Basse, just north of St. Andre and...
