BaWü Task 2


Yesterday we didn't go up to launch because of very strong winds both in the forecast and also observed in the morning. Allison and I went exploring in the forest and had a picnic lunch.

Today we called a 46.6km task, also to Landeplatz Bleibach, which is just 3.5km from Jens' house. It was very difficult to get out of the Oppenau valley today due to high winds and not getting very high. Just when I was almost giving up and heading over the valley I caught a great climb to some dark high clouds which made it easy to run downwind and establish on the high terrain. I flew alone the next 30km, only seeing Markus just before goal. Today there were fewer pilots in goal, as most pilots landed on course.
