Dutch Open - Day 4 - Task 4



I am shattered! It was a very hard task today. I only know of 2 Brits that made it into goal ~ Malcolm Brown and Grant Crossingham.

We took off from Chabre and headed West to Col St Jean; North to a turnpoint in the foothills of Pic de Bur; the 3rd tp was on top of the Gache ridge (which I didn’t get) and then back into Goal at Laragne Camping.

We had quite a strong Southerly head wind and a few went down at the third turnpoint, me included, it was a turbulent and not at all pleasant place to be!

The Brits Pondering

The Dutch Plotting

The 'young' men Planning

Well done Rob - Task 3 Winner

Results - HERE

Alert! There was a robbery on the campsite last night and a Brit family have lost ‘everything’…… passports, cards, money…… the lot! A bag was taken whilst they were asleep in the caravan. We are all being extra vigilant keeping everything under lock and key now. What a sad world we live in!
