Saturday 6th June

Due to too much wind in the forecast, this event was moved to Sunday. Six of us made the journey up to the slope at Hawes where we flew 10 rounds. The wind stayed pretty much due west all day, which made for mostly cross-wind and occasionally tricky conditions.

In view of the small entry, we flew a standard F3F timed run (scoring) followed immediately by a second timed run (non scoring) without launch, but with 30s climb out from completing the previous run. This gave plenty of flying (20 rounds, 10 scoring, 10 timed, non scoring) with a bit of time between pilots to keep the bases and center manned. Initially times were quite variable, but settled down later in the day although thermal activity still played a significant part in the proceedings.
