For the first day of the Naviter SRS the conditions were on! Cloudbase was about 2100m before the start and most of the pilots were positioned in the middle of the start cylinder. We went off at 13.30 and tagged the turnpoint in the valley to then connect to the main ridge above the campsite. The leaders went to the end of the ridge, flying past the good climb halfway along the ridge and got themselves stuck. Meanwhile the pilots climbing halfway up the ridge got high and followed Krn ridge to the back, then connecting to Krasji Vrh waypoint. Here everybody topped up to cloudbase and went off to Stoll ridge, which was booming. Most pilots came back to Stoll ridge after tagging the furthest waypoint, but some daredevils turned straight down the course line. From there it was maxing out at the home ridge at the campsite to try and go on final glide. This glide was into the seabreeze and caught some pilots out. But for most it was a glide to goal, with not much height to spare. Except for the winner of the day, he was in orbit.
