Scottish Summer League 4

My first competition in my new home of Scotland was great fun.  Even the 2.5m walk to the NNW face of West Lomond was welcome exercise and richly rewarded with a bunch of good sub 40 second runs.  Dave Watson had FTD with an excellent 34.00.
The standard of flying was really high and those that got thermals certainly capitalised on them.
There's a lot of coastline around here... I can feel some exploring coming on!

La Muela - the last few days

Some photos from the last few days.  I'll be doing a write up of the event for QEFI and I'll add a few words here soon about the Fosa.  I'll also post the scores for an impromptu F3F that 10 of us from four countries had at La Muela the day after the main comp.
Home tomorrow; via Inaki's place and vineyard :-)

24 April - La Muela

Another day in my happy place :-)

La Muela 2011 competition days

A fun couple of days; the highlights were;

• Great organisation from the new team
• Variable but fun conditions
• Some showers that killed the times of those who flew just after
• The Fosa went really well
