Day 3 - Cancelled

All photos taken with Ricoh R8 – you can click any photo to make it BIGGER!
- had the camera on 45secs delay today so not many pics.

A good call by the safety and comp organisers - we flew down to the bottom landing before the weather turned nasty as cunim's were on the menu for today's lunch. By the time we had had a beer and just finished de rigging the gust front had come through and by the time we got the gliders back to the digs and on the racks in the dry the rain. thunder and lightening had started.

The organisation is very good and they are playing very safe which I think most pilots seem to be appreciating very much.

Sounds like there are a few people un-happy about people cloud flying. Maybe the answer or a good idea would be to make all track logs public so in effect it might police itself? The Brits of course can not comment on this subject as we may have our knackers chopped off ;-)
