A brief personal account of yesterday

Thanks for all the support from back home.
Yesterday i set off on grand style with the French duo, and we were having a smashing run down to Monte Velino, when my 302 switched off , nothing to it, i switch it back on BUT everything was a bit lopsided and clearly the vario was u/s running into the first turn i lose all satelites OUCH - down the second leg SANS vario it is difficult to climb back up to cloudbase to get back onto the mountains (but i find a strong climb) and i have a good run over the L'Aquila valley with french low down (they later tell me) but running into the blue it is really tough without a vario and then the satellites quit again as i run into the second turn - now i also without a final glide calculator and the Valnerina lies ahead - not a glide you really want to do without a final glide calculator. i make it back. they stitch my two logfiles together and i live for another day. It was only the 13th!!! (and i move up to 14th spot)
