Task 4 - 128km
Text by Alfredo.
A good day for xc is announced, light west winds and good thermals, the task commitie decides for a clasic aller-retour Saint-andré to le Lac de Serre-ponçon 100km classic of the region.
From Le Cheval Blanc the locals decide to take the straight line, and we jump over the ridge Le Carton wich this time was not working very well early afternoon, so we end up low at the pied de Tromas finding good soaring down in the valley.
At la Tête de Beloupet we start flying the ridge and we return to St. Andre in 3 hours.
Unfortunately, Joel's wing had a colapse very close to the ground. He managed to make a good manouver but landed hard. German Pilot Tim Ungewitter landed next to him to assist. We wish Joel the best for his full recovery.
Today, Task 5 was stopped before the start.
