The Bicester Regionals 2008
Wednesday's News
7:45am It's a bit grey outside, with a little drizzle. We are postponing briefing to 11:00am. The drizzle has stopped now.
10:30 The Weatherman is suggesting that it is showing signs of clearing. So tasks are being set now.
11:45am Tasks have been set. We note that Booker has also set tasks, as their weatherman also
believes it will clear up.
Open Task A Calvert - Membury - Kingsclere - Bic Airfield = 155.0km
Task B Bicester West - Bidford - Winchcombe - Calvert - Bic Airfield = 143.1km
Sport Task A Bicester East - Wantage - Chievely - Bic Airfield = 109.5km
Task B Bicester West - Shipston - Moreton in the Marsh - Calvert - Bic Airfield = 102.4km
First launch not before 12:30
Booker have put up a picture of all their entrants and gliders, but as I don't have any panoramic cameras to hand and most people don't have wide enough screens anyway, our image page just shows some of our entrants. ;)
13:50 The sniffer has said he'd like to repoot 3kts to 3000', he'd LIKE to report that,
but admits its 0.3kts, at 1700'. But some gliders near Swindon do have 3700'. Apparently.
He's trying to circle with some birds, but they keep flapping their wings...
14:45 We scrubbed both classes. Sad but true.
