We had a pleasant day today punting around the Laragne valley. The task was about 60k with 4 turnpoints on opposite sides of the valley.
The take off was very slow due to the light north wind and then no wind and no thermal gusts coming up either side. Eventually I got off Chabre on the south side at about 15.20 and climbed straight out above launch and to the start. The last was at 16.00 – I took the 15.45 start and went straight around the valley with no stops or transfers. I did the task in about 1hour 50 and fastest time so not too bad given the late start and very stable conditions early on in the day.
I took a few pics along the way looking down the left wing - one every 30 seconds so more than a few! Most are now deleted due to space issues on my mobile brick contometer.
PS - The outcome of the rough conditions in St Andre yesterday was 2 broken arms and worse a fractured vertebrae. Hope all get well soon.

As pretty as a combat
