Submitted by Richard Lovelace on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 13:23.Well done Elio Cataldi – our ‘new’ European Champion.
We were to have a task today of 90+km but this was canned soon after the first few pilots got off due to weak conditions on launch then the over development happening a lot quicker than expected.
We all had a punt round again and landed in the bottom landing field – at 14.00 there were cunim’s.

Day 11 - Task 3 - 154km Triangle
Submitted by Richard Lovelace on Thu, 06/19/2008 - 14:47.All the Brits in goal today with Carl being the fastest and about 5th in. The rest of us were a tad slow to say the least. It was a 154km task round some amazing mountains and lakes with nice smooth glides and some very rough climbs low down.
There were a lot of guys that just missed the goal by metres including Jorg and some of the French team. It’s never nice to miss goal by so little and after 4 hours flying:-(
