And 40min later we were on the ground, 12km from takeoff. Too much clouds and some rain.

Forbes 2016, Training days
Yesterday was my first hangglider flight since Arizona in September, getting hooked in to the towline behind the dragonfly, go go go, 3 minutes later I release into a huge thermal that average over 5 m/s and go straight up to 2800 meters. How good is Forbes?
The team here this year are the veterans Olav Opsanger, Olav Lien Olsen and me, Thomas Lindal who was here last year, and Erland Åmot as freshman here for the first time. Since we had one free spot in the car we also have the Dutch pilot Gijs with us for retreives.
The first days here have been good flying, today saw a bit of overcast with cirrus and a bit more wind, but conditions were quite rough and strong in some parts. We set a task today, but it was into the shade so some of us turned back, while Olav Lien Olsen completed it and Erland did 80%.
Thomas was attacked by a wedge-tailed eagle today, the eagle ripped his nosecone off the glider, making it “interesting” to fly, but he managed to land safely without any major issues.
The forecast for the first few comp days is not great, it’s raining and lightning outside as I write this, but there is a good chance we can fly tomorrow if the more positive weather forecasts are accurate.

As summers roll by
So another Nordic flying season comes to an end, I even got to have one memorable (and personal best XC open distance) flight in Norway from Espesetra to Hamar, in between cancelled competition tasks and generally unpredictable weather.
I got to fly in Australia in January, Italy in April, Norway in May, July, and August, Germany in August, and Arizona in September.
The flatlands in Germany were pretty good, almost like Australian flying.
The Norwegian season end meet at Tronfjell was really nice local flying in blue and weak conditions with over 50 other pilots.

So it’s all over, flying muscles are sore, but I wish we could start all over again tomorrow. We had a great time in the sky and on the ground, thanks to Vicki, Moyes, tugpilots, all the voulenteers and all pilots and crew, you made it all possible, what a great comp it was!

Forbes 2015 – Day 8
Another day with chance of storms and stopped task, but it turned out good in the end as the storms stayed just far enough away for us to complete the short task.
I broke a weaklink towing, and had to land an get another tow, I then found very weak lift and could not get up in time for the first start, so I had to take the second with a small gaggle. From there it was an OK run until goal where I had a 12:1 final glide into headwind, but hit very strong lift on the way in and passed goal at 1200m.

Forbes 2015 – Day 7
Difficult to predict the weather in the morning and the first triangle task was changed due to much more wind than forecasted. We got a dogleg task south-west of 158km.
I got a OK start taking the first gate, and flew in a gaggle with Atilla, Gerolf and a few others. I did not see either of the Olav’s or Thomas all day in the air.
The skies soon started to look ugly, and we got rain and thunderstorms building to our east, while we could easily escape to the west where the skies were nicer looking. At the turnpoint I could see it overdeveloping on both sides of the track so that left no good escape routes if it did overdevelop quickly. I decided it was unsafe to continue and circled down to land at the TP. The safety committee stopped the task just then. While some pilots flew on towards goal, most landed at the TP.

Forbes 2016 – Day 6
Day 4 and 5 were cancelled due to bad weather, we had lots of rainfall soaking the ground, and that made conditions a bit slower than previous days.
The task was 250km heading west, with 2 turnpoints to keep us out of the worst bush without roads. Very little winds, and low cloudbase at the start of the task.
I got OK conditions in the startgate, hanging out for one hour under 1700m cloudbase, but after taking the second start we took a few long glides into extremely weak lift where I lost Olav Olsen and the main gaggle after a few thermals. I then flew mostly alone for the rest of the task, catching up with some pilots now and then, but we could not get a good gaggle forming, so it was way to slow.
After 150km it seemed we would run out of daylight before reaching goal, but late in the day the cloudbase started rising up to 2700m and thermals were a bit better formed. The last 80 km I could hop from cloud to cloud and had a slow 12:1 final glide.
I flew for 7 hours, and after a long drive home without any food on the way it was good to lie down in bed.
Olav Olsen did a really good flight and came in 4. place, great effort on such a difficult day.

Forbes 2015 – Day 4
We get a rest day today, the weather has turned ugly with a trough and associated thunderstorms passing over us today. It was windy from the morning and building clouds already at 8:30.
The dustdevil that tricked me on day 2, this photo is at around 1300meters, and that dustdevil is 4-500 meters high, so it should have been very strong lift in that area, I probably just could not find the core, it was turbulent enough!
Final scores from yesterday are out, and all scores can be found at http://www.forbesflatlands.com/results.html

Forbes 2015 – Day 3
Another great day in the sky! We got a 191km task, heading south west with two turnpoints to keep us out of airspace around Temora and West Wyalong. Conditions were windy, and the forecast was for lower base and weaker lift than yesterday.
I was one of the first to tow up, and hung around the startgate for one hour climbing and gliding against the 30-40km/h wind to stay inside the 10km startcircle. I met up with Olav Opsanger as we started at 13:45, and we stuck together for a while until Olav missed a lift and we got separated. I had another good run until I took a bad line just before the last TP where Attila, Johnny and a few others got above me.
The final glide was quite interesting in very strong lift and wind, going at 150km/h groundspeed into goal and strong thermals all the way making it difficult to get down.
Olav Opsanger came in just before me, with Olav Lien a few minutes behind. Thomas had a shorter day, he got alone after the start and had to land after 20 km. He got picked up and came to goal so we could all stop in West Wyalong for a gigantic meal to celebrate the day :-)
Great cloudstreets from TP to goal
