The 2009 Hang Gliding Worlds, day one blown out
The wind speed indicator on top reported 34 km/h with gusts to 53 km/h at 8 AM. It was still quiet down in the campground but it did not remain that way for long. It was obvious from the little cu's forming just at the lip of the Chabre that the winds were quite strong at launch level.
The day was called during the weather briefing. It looks like it might be possible to fly on Tuesday.
This is the weather briefing for today for today and tomorrow.
At 11:23 AM it was blowing 47 km/h on launch gusting to 68 km/h.
The Hungarians have still not protested to the meet organizers/CIVL.
