We have a first task for this third day of the Open. Yesterday was mistral with high winds, the day before was overdevelopment and storms forecast at the beginning of the afternoon. Both previous days were well forecast as the predictions proved correct. Today's task is a gentle introduction for those who have not flown here before, is a 67km race to goal.
Conditions are good with a slight south westerly wind and the usual valley breezes in the mix. From take off, start and first turnpoints at Cote Longue, then down to Courchon, a return to the large shark fin, and end of speed section and goal at take off. The reason for the pal at altitude is a safety decision to avoid pilots racing low to the end of speed section.
May the best man win :-)))
More later...
