Bruce almighty

Well, what a day.

This was the scene that greeted us on the way out to the airfield this morning. And it continued to rain until midday. Briefing was put back until 1200, then 1300. By then it still looked dismal but they don't give up easily here, so a task was set with a possible 1530 launch.

By then it had stopped raining and was vaguely soarable, so off we went.

And then came Bruce.

Shortly after the start the wind sprung up, the ridges started working and we all romped around at decent speed. With Bruce at the top of the heap at the finish. Well done Bruce.

And me? I'm sick of coming tenth, one place out of the points. Must...go...faster...

Graham.
