Welsh Summer League final positions

The Welsh Summer League finished with a phut this weekend when the final competition was called off because of a lack of wind.  A real shame as it was really close and a fly off in good even condition is what everyone was after.

The times flown throughout the year really demonstrate the fun to be had on the Welsh hills, although sometimes it would be nice to have less thermals and more even conditions.  Or, having the penny and the bun as my mum says.

Fastest times over the league were:

League 1 – 34:02 Joel West

League 2 – 35:18 Mike Evans

League 3 – 34:86 Kev Newton

League 5 – 36:86 Kev Newton

League 6 – 37:93 Simon Thornton

The final results show just how competitive it is.  If you rearranged a few of the thermal who knows who would be where, particularly Joel who did incredibly well despite a distinct lack of air for much of the year.
