AAT task today. 295km to 640km. High cloud coming in from the West ahead of an occluded front and instability leading to potential over-development were the issues for the day. I managed 130kph on the first leg, then 115kph on the second but the third leg got tricky when I had to divert around a thunderstorm which slowed my overall speed to 101kph for 455km. Those that cut short of the storm were a lot faster but also most were under the 4hr AAT time. Practice is still unofficial though so nobody is taking much notice of times and are really concentrating on fine tuning their gliders and getting familiar with the area.
John Coutts turned up today, registered and flew so he is already ahead on the learning curve. Brett didn't fly today as he had his glider booked in for scrutinizing which all went good. It does mean he had time to go into town and buy a BBQ for the evening meal. Tyskie at the bar have gone up from 6 Zloty, to 7 Zloty and today were 10 Zloty! Just as well we have bought a fridge for our team container so we can buy them cheap at the local Tesco or service station.
