Another long day yesterday stumbling from area to area - it seemed that there was a large gap in the middle of the task area with an approaching from the west. I ended up climbing to 6,500 north of the last sector and gliding out to a field that had a canadian glider and was shortly joined by LX from switzerland. Came 8th for the day and am in 3rd overall - so can't complain. The skeeters had a nibble just to remind me that landing out is not without problems.

Looks like another tricky day today - our task is completely in Serbia - and the worst weather is forecast for that area - the mind boggles but not even worth discussing with the organisation as they are barely coping. If 50 gliders land in Serbia we could be there for some time as the passage through the border is slowwww.

Hot and humid at the moment - due to get cloudy and stormy this afternoon.
