Task 6

Called for 130km then 119km then canned...

The briefing was "eventually the extreme turbulence will overwhelm the hammering backwind and it will be launchable"...

So after about an hour of delays they tossed a poor windtech off the hill into what was ugly air, he bravely (stupidly) called level 2 although it was obviously crap. The organiser then canned the day to a round of applause.

The sun was extreme, its hot and there was some impressive dusties kicking off in the valley.

Off to the pool!
