Tough day, specially in club class!

 

17.30; It looks like a tough day. In club class 2 daily winners from last week, had to make an outlanding, one after 8.2 km. That’s hard! Also the overall leader from this moment is in a paddock. From the 8 pilots left in this class , 5 outlanded early , one did not start and one JU finished !! He , Patrick, was National Champion in the past already and flew the JWGC. He started just after 15.00 and arrived at 17.30 . Willem is the 2d pilot who finished and flew the task. Tough for the  early ” outland-birds ” .

20.10 ;At 5.30 a bunch of pilots finished, that ‘s better news. Even the live-scoring must have  the wind on the nose as it is slow today! Not a lot of news either on the Dutch site! Just a bit on the FB department.
Anyhow in combi and open class it is a valid day as enough pilots arrived home.
Hadriaan won again in open class in his DG 800S and is 2d overall behind Ronald with less then 100 points on number 3 and just over 100 points on 4.
In combi not all pilots got scores [ last glider just arrived before 19.00] but it looks like another great day for Steven , who started pretty late [after 16.00] and also for Peter Millenaar. Steven is about 300 points ahead on Peter who at this stage is 2d.

Tomorrow I will be at Terlet and with 2 grand kids who dream of looking at the deer behind the airfield in an open jeep, I will not take my laptop .A pity and sorry about that, as it is the last day, but it is hobby for me not a paid job, so please look at the scoring carousel, live tracking and FB.
Will be there on Sunday morning with my regular blog on both my own site and soaringcafe. Thanks for the notes from a few who were pleased to read a daily blog again. But …just temporarily.

Cheers…and who knows…maybe I ” find” a laptop to write on….Hope tomorrow will be a great last day of a great competition with 7 days!
