After waking up with high hopes based on yesterday’s RASP TEAM EAGLE was up bright and early and prepping the glider for a full day of flying.
At 9:45 the tannoy sounded “all competitors to the briefing “ With smiles on our faces;briefing complete and Pursey in competition mode team Eagle strided along to the Grid.
Once we were all strapped in canopy closed we were off into the Yorkshire countryside . After heading North towards our first turning point and altimeter increasing spirits were high in the eagle 🦅 cockpit.
From turning point Helmsley we travelled down toward goole with some pretty good climbs .
We then travelled to Sheffield East using wisps to get through the blue patch 😬
We then travelled to Gainsborough . This was a rather intense run and there wasn’t much lift about but a lot off sink . Thankfully due to John’s skills we made it.
With conditions ahead deteriorating we decided it was best to head back to Pocklington . Due to the not so great conditions we were relying on a few little pockets of lift to get us across the Humber and back home to Pocklington.
After a bit of local soaring it was time for us to land and go and enjoy another fun evening of Eagle Entertainment.
Overall we travelled 246km in an approximate time frame of 5 hours with a 1st place in the Wood class. – Kai Mudd (14yrs and first competition experience)
