We're both back - both of us have had reasonably good days. Long and hot, they launched too early - took an age to get back to launch height. Started with the main gaggle and wobbled round the task carrying too much water - at least it meant that I didn't end up at the top of the gaggle so spent the day following. Had a luck break on the run back when most f the thermals had died - got a nice final glide thermal that was marked by some lower gliders - ended up getting back before most of the gaggle, Bruno and Greg dragged us off the field in good order -- still waiting for the scores to arrive

There was an accident on the finish line when a marginal australian 15m glider hit a lorry that was on the road that runs on the boundary - I don't have any details but it was serious and has put a real downer on the days proceedings.

Aircon is back on - time for Bed
