Gromit Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Whats the forecast looking like for today ? Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Bertschi Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Same slope, same windspeed, probably more crossed and less sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Just finishing 2nd group. Wind speed is lower, very crossed and very variable. 44, 47 and 53 for me, Martin, Simon, with a 38 just done with strong thermal assistance (and good flying to take advantage of it). Looking like a very tough day, but still great to be out in good f3f conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Conditions steadied a little at around 13m/s. Decent times for us (41, 42, 44) last round but still being hammered by thermals coming through. 3rd round underway, 44 for Martin so far. Bit more relaxed today without being blown about as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_r Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 No air for me today so despite putting in good times for the air I get I'm going backwards as those around me get the thermals and pull 5s ahead. Thankfully Simon just put in a 37 to help our team score, Martin last to go. Guess we might fly another round after this one then final day tomorrow.

Andy_B Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I thought the idea of having the sea slopes was to take the variability out (thermals) ..I see your not right on the beach ...but it seems a small patch of ground makes a big difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the influence of thermals is there. Havenn't you watched circling seeguls above the see? We have recogniced, that thermals in the back are also making variability (wind speed and direction). It is outdoor, at the coastline, too ;-) Dieter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon_t Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Another very tough day for us, tending to get the lows of the good/bad air cycles - Martin continued to doing sterling service, flying an excellent course every time. Mark just didn't get any luck with the air at all until the last round with a 37. I had a 37 but the 53 early in the day in the worst/crossed conditions really set me back, and all the other slots were average or worse air. My flying suffered as a result - very difficult to hit the bases when there is no grip or rhythm in the air. But Mark is in 4th place, Martin in 11th, and me in 26, and we are 3rd in team, with a little margin over Denmark. http://www.f3xvault.com/?action=event&function=event_view&event_id=816 Simon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubry is claiming that it's his. But if thats true he should go to the doctor. Black as that for a caucasian male can't be right!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
