UK Northern Regional Gliding Championships 2013

United Kingdom,   July 27, 2013 – August 4, 2013

Wed 31/07/2013 - 12:45

Briefing today was held at 10:30 with the competitors gridding before, there were mixed feelings as to the possibility of tasking today. The weather out the window gave 7/8 of cloud with some signs of lift.. The met men suggesting a warm front approaching from the south cutting the day short. In light of this a short task of 82.0km was set:

SU2 - TON - SOF - SU3 – SutfinN

Out of briefing, maps marked, a quick sniff and the grid started launching at 11:25 with the last in the sky at 12:00. First starter called in at 12:14 with plenty following soon after. One relight required but so far looking good.
