Another great day at Narromine Cup. After 6 days of big flying days some pilots were looking for an easier day and today started with about 10-15 kts of wind from the north west. It rapidly heated up and the cu popped about 12 noon and the line filled up with gliders rushing to get into the best of the early climbs. Good cumulus to 8,000ft with regular 6/8 kts of lift.
Another day of good streeting and tasks in excess of 600klms. One pilot on the grid today noted he had flown 6 days , two over 300, three over 500 and one over 600. A good start for the season. The last day tomorrow is shaping up to be another day with the Narromine trough steady over the central west.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Narromine Cup Week Update Looks like another good day in Narromine Updates from Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=857309423> Anne Elliott Look like it's been a top day here in Nrm ... started around 1100 and still working. In staying that I must admit I saw a trailer heading out along the Tullamore Rd about 1645 and heard the tug take off a little while ago. Not sure about Friday and Saturday; check the weather for that. Hopefully the days will be good. <http://www.facebook.com/bbaer> Bernie Baer Did 451 Km and saw 9,000' a few times but the good thermals were widely spaced and I had a few low spots. Everybody reported it was a bit of a struggle but some flights over 600Km........ Cheers, ROSS _________________________________________________
