It feels a long time
since we managed to get a winter race in.
Whilst the wind steadily dropped off as the morning rain cleared you can’t
complain when, as the clag cleared Mike and Will had the course set up and
ready to go.
I was also buoyed by
the sight of a new pilot and that half
the field was made up of Sakers and Wyverns. JP showed everyone the way with his Wyvern,
flown aggressively with low weight JP wrung
the speed out of his Wyvern as he hugged the slope and dodged the shrubbery.
I was still flying
the strong conditions from previous weeks but as I shed ballast my own Wyvern
pick up the pace and points, even delivering a round win. Whilst a couple of cuts showed how out of
practise I am, the Wyvern’s agility was well suited to the mid 40-mid 50 second
conditions ad when the air did come through- well you just have to smile!
See you at the next
race!
