Dougie does good.

A nice looking day, but uncomfortably breezy at launch. We took off below the Peña Negra and soon found it was just a strong early anabatic. Most of us soon pushed upwind to the small hills to the NW. Dougie and myself went cross headwind towards El Puente de Congosto on the river Tormes then back downwind to Barco. I flopped to the ground at San Lorenzo, but Dougie superstar overflew me and reached La Aldeanueva, some 6km short of a near 50km FAI triangle. Of the Belgians most landed near Piedrahita, though Tim flew to Barco as well (though skipping the other turnpoint). Reasonable evening conditions, though most of us took of when it was shadowed out and had a struggle to stay up in the now very light wind.
