PB for Gunnar 175.4km.
A big day from Lastra today with Gunnar making his PB of 175km. Curiously, his last PB was in 1995 in the PWC race task I set to Acrones from La Lastra. That 170km goal was something of a revelation in the PG world when around 50 pilots made it. Even now nearly 20 years later I am unsure if that has been matched in a PWC task. Great flights for many other too, with Simon the next down with around 150km. Even I went along for the ride. The last 60km or so were done without thermalling running the convergence at around 60km /hr at trim. No Cu clouds , must mainly a blue day and some high level Altocu/ mashed potato along the convergence at the end. Photos by Gunnar, the yellow Iota is me (Steve)

Thank you for a great week. A little correction: The old PB was from PWC 1995 🙂
