With a North flow and light winds an 89km task was called. Inspo to Buckly to a control point around a temporary flight restriction due to a forest fire and then on to Levan. Conditions we weak at first and many pilots didn’t get up and away until 2:30. 11 Pilots made goal some taking as long as 4:45 minutes. That’s a long day on a paraglider. Mads Syndergaad won the day again.
Task 4 results are HERE.
