Flight details:
A very tricky day at the mynd. I was the first to launch of around 50 Gliders flying as part of the BOS, very overcast sky with little to no sun so the task was set as 90kms from the starting point. No landing goal, you just had to break the 90km circle to make goal. Obviously everyone went downwind but the only way to fly was going around in the 0.5 ups and drifting with it. Whenever people went onto a glide they inevitably landed. I took over 3 hours to do 54k downwind just  by drifting with Zeros. However not many made goal and on the provisional scoreboard im 7th which im VERY happy with. Tomorrow looks much more thermic and maybe a triangle will be set. Youtube video on its way in the next week.
