BPC status evening of 12th May
Apologies for the delay in getting this information relayed out - however...
Sundays brilliant task to Hawick 46km was won by Chris Harland with another 15 pilots getting into goal. Full results and track logs etc should all be available in due course here.
Monday - no task set as winds too strong for local hills though. Group decision made to not travel further North where it would have been epic.

Well the rain has stopped and the wind has eased markedly - so much so that kite flying has become difficult. Dinners have been ordered and the beer is now flowing very nicely ...!
