Day 5 is here and the sky is still looking good - the whole organisation is up on take-off and we are waiting for today's task.
We have had a few minor problems finding Philippe a suitable way to upload his videos but we think we have solved it - here are the latest episodes...
There is another but it is still uploading - it will be here later.

Its Tuesday and Day 4 is here. There were some concerns last night because a huge forest fire (which was 100km away on the previous day) had advanced to just 20km away. There was a huge plume of smoke rising over the headquarters.
This morning it is under control and we have a nice day and a clear sky.
The organisation is on take-off and preparing to race - meanwhile here are the latest videos from the Philippe Broers mobile studios ..

Its been a good task -we have 51 pilots in goal and the last downloads are happening now. Everyone is back at HQ and safe.
Results will be out in 5 minutes.
NOTICE TO PILOTS : Busses tomorrow will leave HQ at 10:30am
The task is set - this is a 54km Race to Goal to the east of HQ.
The cylinders in use this week are 5km (which is why they look a bit odd) and the start is a 2km exit cylinder around the goal. The window is already open and the start is at 13:30 - there is a countdown timer on the left.
Live Tracking is running for this race (and we are hopeful that we have solved the technical issues which prevented many pilots from displaying yesterday) - the link is http://www.livetrack24.com/leo_live_task.php?taskID=110
Here is the map
Its another nice day here in Portugal. This morning has been a busy time in HQ (hence the late update).
The whole crew is now on take off and preparing a task (details will be here in a few minutes).
Unfortunately, due to some minor technical problems with internet connections Philippe has not been able to upload any new videos at the moment. We are working on the problem and should be able to update the video collection soon - keep checking here.
