BRIT NATS 2013 - Task 2

We have a task today. 

A 67km to goal with an interesting start offering several options: either waiting on Chalvet, Coupe or Mouchon ridges. 

Pilots will wait until they are in the air to decide which is the best option and will inevitably be watching who will make the first move and to where. 

The middle part of the task is a standard run, the final turn points are interesting in that we are to fly to the west of the coupe to clip the second to last balise before heading south for the final top up and glide into end of speed section at the Chamatte. 

Weather conditions are better than yesterday with the wind turning westerly at the end of the afternoon. Development should be less than yesterday and the task has been made in order to keep pilots in a more favorable flying zone away from any growing cunims. 

Russell Ogden, yesterdays task winner, kindly have us a debriefing on how he won the day.
