AAT of 2 hours as the wind was expected to increase in strength during the afternoon. Intrepid day for me as the return leg is over Renmark and the lakes area. Waikerie Meribah, Renmark,Wki. Standard class left last and were able to pick up the best part of the day. Matthew Scutter won the day with a terrific flight passing Meribah and running the scrub line on both return legs, brilliant….. The thermals were difficult to work as they appeared to be elongated and lift was not consistant around the turn. Good lift on one side and sink on the other. Very few outlandings for this comp so the task setters appear to be getting it right for this level of competition.
