23rd June 2010 - Day 6 - Task 5 - 86km Race to Goal

A task has been set - and its different !

The start is a 4km exit cylinder around the take-off and the pilots then have to get to a 50km cylinder - also around the take-off - so there is no actual turnpoint, just the edge of a 50km cylinder - then back to take-off and one turnpoint to the west before going to goal.

To complicate matters - they are not allowed to go north or west of the Columbia river or south of highway 2 - this leaves them an arc to use as a playing field.

Its quite hard to plot this on the map but we've done the best we can....the map is below.

Start is at 13:45 local time - watch the Live Retrieve Map for details
