Well, with Attie in the JS1, it was a late start to the forecasted day. He only got to 4500m at the first turnpoint at 15h00 (one and a half hour behind schedule) so the 1000 was never on. Nonetheless a very creditable 778 km for the day (see http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?flightId=1059487938)
As promised some pics taken on Sunday - but don't forget that, sticking to the ridge line, Martin and Otto in TR did 660 km at 151kph - a really remarkable feat!!!
As the front moved in the air became more moist and the foehn gap can clearly be seen, at times the cloud would form around you and GWL was flying with the electric turn & slip on for this very reason. Days like these are really very special and beautiful:
On Saturday we are flying cloth ships!!!
