Few words from Dave :
it was a difficult day with lots of high cirrus and grey clouds. Myles and Ben did a Great job maintaining for 40 or so minutes then a sink cycle grounded them both and Fabien too . 5 minutes before the window closed most of the brits launched and Pat managed to core a 2up. I also squeezed into a broken weakie which developed to join Pat's climb. We made base at around 4500ft and drifted for 6km (enough to clear the avoidance area around Jack Chirac"s castle). We then scrabbled around in smoky weak climbs before landing at 9k and 13k respectively. In total the brits launched 5 hangies as did the Frogs. Sadly (for them) they all bottom landed' 8O)

La journée est plutôt favorable aux Anglais.
