Some notes on X-Scotia 2010 from Steve Durkin.
Hi, a few folk have asked if the x-scotia race is going ahead again this year. Well, the days are getting longer, the weather is flyable a bit more often and the flying season is almost on us; which means yes, why not? It is time to lay down the X-Scotia gauntlet again! We are going for it again but with a few changes to hopefully help the flying along.
We've had to go with a change of venue (sadly it seems the bus at Lochearnhead was burned out) and we've got the Scotland's best winter for decades to think about with changes suggested from the previous races. So in all we're looking to run a shorter race with a late start from take off and finish soon after VFR closes, then back to camp and a warm fire! Available dates are all April weekends - barring the Easter weekend.
In the last couple of years the full triangle has been *almost* flown twice - both times frustratingly close to the race dates though not yet actually on the day! Perhaps this could be the year?
Will keep you posted. We've set up a forum for all things x-scotia and will post all details on there as time progresses.
