4 pilots made the trip to Longwood and we were greeted by a windy but warm and sunny day. The thermals changed throughout the day as the wind and cloud cover changed and this made for a challenging but rewarding day. There were some great flights, great saves and the obligatory land outs.

Poker was a lot of fun and some friendly rivalry developed between Tim and Hugh which meant we flew a second round of Poker to to see who would have bragging rights. Tim came out slightly in front. Well flown Tim! Jon and Marcus had a rollercoaster 'Last Flight' round where Jon got away and looked like he had a keeper until he landed out, then Marcus looked good until he landed out and then there was a mad scramble to get a decent time in the sink that came through in the end of the slot. Jon ended up winning 1:59 to 1:09! Nice recovery Jon!

We flew a lot of different tasks and had a lot of fun.

Congratulations to:

1st Marcus

2nd Jon

3rd Tim
