Hopefully some words soon..

Photos from the final few days:


A few of my favourite photos from VR2010.

Viking Race 2010 - update

It is all over.

Great finish. Pierre won. Greg was top Brit. Excellent fly off with a 30.xx. Amazing effort from the organisers - quite amazing.

I've loads of great photos but no wifi on the way back. So give me a few days for the photos and write up.

Viking Race 2010 - day 7

Although the weather was a bit of a pain today the organisers stuck with it and after a really long day we came away with four rounds.
The A slope at St Ferriol was working much better than the B slope but on both slopes there was still a bit of variation, although nowhere as much as Laurac.
A pretty good day for the Brits although Simon and I both got crucified with crap air in one of the four rounds.
Am completely pooped - even had to resort to a McDonalds tonight - so no photos again I'm afraid. I'll endeavour to upload them tomorrow.

Viking Race 2010 - day 6

No flying today. Rain and low cloud early on followed by no wind. Had a fabulous BBQ with the Spanish and Espen though.
Jury decided that all rounds from yesterday will count.
Looking forward to better conditions tomorrow, I suspect St Ferriol is a lot of fun on a good day.

Viking Race 2010 - day 5

Two rounds today. But possibly one round on the A slope will be cancelled pending the results of a protest about measuring wind strength and direction. We'll see.

We were on St Ferriol and you can see the potential of the place. A reasonable edge and landing in rotor free grass - bliss! Unfortunately in the light conditions there was still some variation today, but not as but as Laurac. The UK teams moved up a little but the damage done in the first few days is too much to recover unless we get more variable conditions and they all work for us!

I have a few photos but they are in my cameras in the car and I am in the hotel with wine. No decision to be made, they will appear tomorrow!
