Indifferent day. Electronics got so hot on the grid that the vario stopped
working. Had to follow a lot of people into climbs. Watched the Nimbus 3
come past like a rocket ship, (into a field - now that’s funny!) The last
climb of the day was a ballistic 9.5knots to 6000 ft, lots of hay in the
thermal and gave the opportunity to go to the furthest point of the last
area and come back like a rocket. Good fun, but really difficult without
the right equipment
