		<title>Strong SW</title>

		<title>Another one of those Sundays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long day in Madrid for me, Taking Martin in at 7am, and collecting at 5pm.  Our new arrivals, two groups from Belgium, adding to Adrian, Paul, Jacob from last week.  Not flyable today, though if somebody had got away, it looked pretty epic (20lm/hr + from SW with convergence).   Looking [...]]]></description>

A short task to have the prize giving and scoring done at a realistic time, or leave it open and allow the pilots to come here to do what they want?.  The latter wins out and predictably there are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Task 5. Straight back to epic looking conditions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cracking looking day with 4/8 Cu to over 3000m.  Martin Muller was the winner of the day with just over 170km.  All the big flights were down the Cherry tree vally then south&#8230;&#8230;one pilot unfortunately landing at the Nuclear Powere station again and causing me all sorts of hassle with the police.

		<title>Another big day with forecasted climbs to 4000m</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ýesterday the best distance was made by Paul Tomassi (CH) who landed near Almaraz (150km), unfortunately next to the nuclear power station.  The police were around this morning asking if they were ecological protesters.
Todays forcast gave stronger winds and a higher base.   We have reports of pilots around the 150 or more mark at present.
