Last day of Unofficial Practice

Today we had a briefing in the main hangar, with a proper weatherman.
The forecast wasn't too promising with a lot of Alto Cu over the area and a warm front to the NE that can't decide if it wants to go East or West.
Pete and Tobi launched about an hour ago and were reporting 6kts tho' I didn't hear a cloudbase.
The plan was to do the set task of 206km a triangle to the North then South along the airspace boundry towards Nitra and home. The max is forecast to be 27C with 10-15kt N winds.
Mike and Allan are planning a later launch.
Pete is flying with a pencil cam today from the organisers, but I think they are just practicing and I don't think it is available on the website.
His Spot is not working properly again, we'll have to have a look at it tonight.
