2026-3, Tolmin, Slovenia, Task 5

With a forecast of weak thermals and a low base, the omens were not great and, when a high layer of cloud blotted out the sun, the day seemed doomed. However we waited it out, the cloud moved away, and the race was on! A racy ridge run task seemed suited to the conditions, but the thermals were stronger than forecast although the cycles did require some determined scratching at times. There were plentiful and strong thermals around the last turnpoint, and pilots launched themselves on the final long glide into goal to bring the event to a close with this surprisingly excellent task.
