Monday

Launching late seemed to work OK for Pete in the end yesterday. He did 200km or so to the North. It was a typical Gawler day, blue to 5000’. There were a few other outlandings and I heard a couple of reports of ground loops with possible damage.

We now have a base on field and when the guys got back yesterday we erected the aerial for the base radio. It is just slightly taller than the UK one next door J

Until yesterday the campsite had developed a Berlin theme with German and British flags flying, walls erected (well fences anyway). We were all looking for a US flag to complete the effect. Now there are also Belgian and French flags flying so the illusion is gone.

The forecast today is good, but there is a lot of Alto-Cu. They have set a modest 206km task for all classes.

We secured pole position for the scrutineering tomorrow at 9am.

The forecast for tomorrow is for better weather
