After a few tough challenges, today we can have a little fun with a fast, quirky task that has some Red Bull Challenge DNA in it.
The Alpine glaciers are melting, so lets go have a close look before they are gone.
The first 2 legs allow you to gain altitude. Thermals are strong, the wind is fairly strong and there could be wave.
When you get to the Mt Blanc, there is a maze of turn points that will force you to fly low over two north facing Mt Blanc glaciers, then follow a third one down steeply on the lee side of the Mt Blanc.
Condor TP windows can be glitchy. I had to switch some TPs to sectors and it seems to work now, but if you encounter problems, use PDA screen 3 and aim the red dot on the center of that screen.
