The cloud on the hill cleared by 1.30pm then quickly rose with very strong climbs in the valley. With the northerly component we stayed in the valley, with David Glew and Dave Cassidy making the most of conditions. Piers, Paul and myself flew in a huge flock of young Storks, presumably practicing for the big off within a week or so.

Over in Serbia, excellent news for the Brits. Two days in a row british task winners. Yesterday Russel Ogden, and today Craig Morgan (who I think looks rather like Bob Par, in the overweight version of Mr Incredible). Well done to them and to Mark Watts who has been knocking in high scores and has finished 17th overall.
