Another successful Gauntlet was held on Saturday.
Bad weather prevented Akavlieg Potch and Magalies Gliding Club from launching. Our sincere commisserations. No doubt they will be back with a vengeance on 5 November.
Jon Cross (now registered as a CGC member) built on his previous victory by again taking the honours. Well done Jon, keep it up.
The conditions were as difficult on day 2 as they were on day 1 – with high cloud cutting of development of the thermals under ragged cu. EY was seen getting away from a late downwind position and William Whittaker who bravely launched to Victoria Peak had the honour of outlanding, contributing a valuable 11.59 km to the CGC scorecard.
CGC will need every point it can get as the Gauntlet heads into its second day of the national interclub contest on 5 November. The upcountry lads (and lasses) will set out to recover lost ground. So all CGC pilots are requested to ensure that they are there on 5 November – we will need every point we can muster – remember the score of the top 15 pilots of each club counts!!!.
