22nd August 2011 - Ager, Spain - Day 2 - Cancelled due to forecast high winds [12:15]

It was worth a try but the forecast indicates the wind will increase to unsafe levels today and, at last contact, it was starting to rain on take off.

The day has, therefore, been cancelled.

More news tomorrow.

22nd August 2011 - Ager, Spain - Day 2 - Morning [10:30]

The forecast is not so good this morning. There is quite a lot of cloud above Ager and the forecast shows a possibility of strong winds so the chances of a task are lower - but not impossible.

The pilots are all going to take-off and we will assess the conditions from there.

More news will be here as the decisions are made....

21st August 2011 - Ager, Spain - Day 1 - Task 1 - 110.9km Race to Goal - Won by Yassen Savov

It was an epic task - starting with the start line right above the camping and the HQ here in Ager. Most of the campsite were out watching as the pilots took the 5km exit cylinder for the start of the race.

The gaggles quickly disappeared and the audience were drawn to the live tracking on the big screen in the bar.

Finally we had  70 pilots in goal.

The downloads are now complete and the results are available from the results tab at the top of the page.

Winning today's task with a goal time of 3 hours 2 mins 31 secs is Yassen Savov (Bulgaria / Gin)

First woman today in goal in 3 hours 27 mins 28 secs is Seiko Fukuoka Naville (France / Les Passagers du Vent)

More tomorrow ! - see you there :-)
