Well done to today’s task winners Pal Takats, Riley Ferre and team Ozone.
The task opened under forbiddingly grey skies. Pilots who took off early found it difficult to stay high and much grovelling went on, both on the main ridge, and the lower front ridge. But, like a miracle, when the start opened, thermals started popping up everywhere, and the task got under way. The first turnpoint gave incredible views of the gorge, but after that, it was a long slog into wind on full bar.
The eastern section of the ridge gave much better climbs, and the leading pilots arrived above the third turnpoint with plenty of height. After that, it was conservation time, taking every climb to get over the flats to Isona. A nice thermal there got pilots into gliding range of goal, and it was full bar time en-route to the lovely Chiringita goal on the lake.
