Petr Benes down early. Alex Ploner out in the lead with Tom Weissenberger at
3:30 PM.

Alex out in front landed just before goal after a valiant effort. Tom
Weissenberger wisely stayed back in the hills and worked slowly to get high
enough to make it in way ahead of everyone else.

Carl Wallbank, and the two Czech's, Petr and Dan, came close to goal
together, but Dan found a little something over the field that Carl and Petr
landed in, and came in second.

Christian Ciech, after apparently flying a paraglider all day, just hung and
hung in nothing getting further and further away from goal as Grant Crossingham,
who was earlier with but below Christian, worked back in the hills even further
downwind.

Then came four pilots who had been much further behind, Jonny, Corinna, Malcolm
and Dave Mathews. Christian down 6.5 km out. Grant down. Dave down. Malcolm
down. Jonny down a few feet from goal.

Corinna climbing near goal. Yoko climbing three kilometers further back. Corinna
third into goal. Yoko lands near Jonny.

One of the worst conditions I have ever flown in. For the first
time I am gonna fill in the task report with negative attitude. And I am not
gonna fly in similar condition again.

At several places I had severe problems to keep the wing barely level. I
couldn't even control my speed properly. It's only luck nobody got hurt. Peeople
climbing severely, then falling five meters down in the gaggles. I only used
full VG few times.

Can anyone explain how Thomas Weissenberger did the task so quickly?

So final thought: I like to push myself, but this was even beyond my personal limits.

Task 7:

Two pilots are missing from this scoring, Grant Crossingham and
Alexander Barvinskiy, both of whom were near goal. Since the scoring is being
done mostly through the use of Flymaster trackers, there appears to be some
issue with GPS coordinates. These lack of published results also affect the
other standings.

Cumulative:

The team standings remain the same.

Nine rigid wing pilots in goal. Austria barely leads Germany in the rigid wing
team standings, Wolfgang Kothgasser is the overall leader after winning the
seventh task, and four out of seven tasks.
