Submitter's comments: |
This may be the hardest Low And Slow task so far. As usual, it starts easy enough, with a ridge near the start that provides good lift. The wind is strong but the ridges are low and far apart, the rising terrain is treacherous particularly on the first leg. Later on, beware of the effect of water on thermal formation. Its early in the day, thermal activity is high but the inversion and ceiling is low, thermals are weak and often blue. Beware of hang glider activity on the ridge north of TP1. Server "BF Low and Slow Day 6" starts at 20:30 CET 20 minute join time Airstart 1 min warmup time 5 min start window All planes are available, but wing span may matter more than wing loading today.
