This one looks more straighforward than the last. What do you think?

Yes it does. I flew with LS on the last race and I landed out and he flew like 168khr to the finish. He said he just followed the ridge. What Ridge???????

Sorry to say, I'm working late tonight, so I won't be flying.
Maybe Thursday or the weekend.

I should have gone here last night to check this. I waited till 9pm and decided not to fly. I will give it a try tonight.

Sorry...maybe I should have used email. I'm trying to use this forum as a "one-stop" info centre for our Condor activities, same as for 8FS.

Anyhow, you made very good time on this race! Can you upload your IGC to Teamspeak? Do you think you can do it faster?

I'm sure I can. I was over cautious cause I did not know what was up ahead. Also when exiting the ridge, I should have gone up to over Final Glide (MS at 2.5) and I am sure that the time would have been faster. There is a ridge that goes all the way to the open ground before the finish. Just south of the line.
