The second task for the Weekend Warrior Weekend was a 45Km round the valley run, up to Tarpoly, down to Manilla then back to the farm. It was a similar day to yesterday with few clouds to help out and mercifully, a 3Km radius was set around Tarpoly so as not to put the entire field on the ground. The pilots who paid attention to that survived (mostly), yours truly flew half a km into the cylinder before working it out, got low battling a headwind coming back to the ridge and bombed out on the wrong side of the ridge (that is, the hot, long walk out on a very quiet road side of the ridge...)
Godfrey, Patrick, James, Che and Crannie on the tandem all got to goal.
The weather is looking good for some distance the next couple of days, James is hanging around and a group of pilots from Japan have just arrived so I have a few bodies to fly with. Hoping to go big...
