Forecast looked much better today and Paul set a three hour Assigned Area Task for the field. Task was Edgehill, Bicester, Didcot, Wantage, Thame and then back to Edgehill. Each of these points had an area so that the pilots could choose to extend or truncate the flight depending on local conditions and the speed flown.
Some shots of the locals! Carole getting Derek ready for off, Lucy launching John Klunder, Paul photographing Damien photographing Rod Weaver (!), Tim launching his syndicate partners Paul & Tim Fletcher.
The day went well and a big variety of task lengths were flown. Just a few landouts, and everybody fine, plus the first 1000 point day at a competition in the UK this year (yes, the weather really has been that bad!) so we were all happy.
Phil Atkinson cooked tea for everyone, then Julia Miles gave a talk about her Ambassadorial travels while we sorted out the scores. Today seemed a lot more straightforward thank goodness! Tim Fletcher won the day!
