Another day of practice. Yesterday was a lovely flying day; we all did over 500km and had a good look at the task area in good thermal conditions. Today the flying was a lot trickier with total thick cirrus overcast, and for a lot of the time we relied on the ridges to keep us afloat. And there was only just enough wind to do that. The orgsnisers set a task so that they could check the tracking system. Tom, Bruce and I flew around it just for the heck of it. Moderately testing but we all got back ok.
The town is starting to feel the impact of the Grand Prix. Today we found out what they do here with gliders that don't behave: a public hanging.
And there is another one strung up in the local shopping centre.
Tomorrow there is an air show at the airfield. I'm not sure if we will be able to fly after that, and in any case the weather might have a bit of a say anyway.
Thursday is official practice day, and then into it.
