Good morning. We are now after todays briefing. The weather is expected to be not as good as yesterday, but it should be still good for a reasonably long distance to be flown. The directors set the task to the north as yesterday. it has three turn points not further than 70km out. The first launch is expected at 12:00 and almost all gliders are on the grid already. Now pilots are taking a cup of coffee or tee in the bar and making the documentation and instruments ready for flight.
