The scoring yesterday is now on soaringspot and on www.nkzweefvliegen.nl
Not too many pilots arrived back home. In club class only one made it home with a finish. Ben  received 75 points for all the work he did. In 15 m. class top pilot Steven Raimond just missed out on ONE point to win. My former instructor Dick Teuling beat him.195 and 194 points!
In open class, Jeroen Verkuijl won the day earning 229 points with young junior pilot Tim Kuijpers runner up in the last Europeans, again runner up on this first flying day with 224 points.
It was struggling with 0.5 m lift on 530 m. , hanging in and having patience. But in the end in all 3 classes 11 pilots from 43 arrived “back home!”

Today day 3 but competition day 2 has been cancelled!!!! A pity Holland looks great everywhere but we are East and from the NE some rain is arriving. Tomorrow will be another day!

Hahnweide is finished  and nothing has changed since I wrote you last. Damm weather!
Eskilstuna had 2 days out of 7.
Belgium Nationals ; they fly today!!!! A 320 km task for club class, 425 km for 15 m.class and in open class 467 km. They arte in the good wesather we can see on our radar.
Off to the BBQ tonight with warm clothes on as it feels today like we are on the Pole.

CU tomorrow Ritz
