Piedrahita was Ok its not my favorite venue but I was 19th overall and third in serial class,yes I was flying a Niviuk peak,which was very interesting after years of flying comp wings,unfortunatly after a good 1st task and a fantastic, most of the flight secound task, I was gliding into goal with Craig Morgan in fourth position when I realised why people fly comp wings,I left higher than Craig and Kia but on the final 5km into wind could not compeate with thier glides and decked it a couple of km short,in the next task I flew 4.8km past the first Turn Point and had A painfully long into wind push to retrase my flightback and then had to fly back getting to goal 1/2 an hour latter than I should have taken BUGGER the final task was a short downwing dash and I was 10 mins behind the winner.
So all in all a pleasent week with a good bunch of guys in our peaceful village retreat,not a great result but not bad in the UK Championships I ended up as 2nd serial only a few pts behind the winner and 400pts behind Adrian who won this round of the championships.
