From Nigel at the British Nationals <<british.nationals>>:

22-28 August. Laragne, France.

Why not take this opportunity to make the most of the European competition
season in a stunning flying area competing against a number of national and
international pilots?

At the site of last year’s World Hang Gliding Championships we will hold this
year’s British national competition which welcomes pilots from all nations in an
FAI Cat 2 open contest.

The competition headquarters will be based at Camping de Monteglin with a full
set of facilities including a restaurant next to the landing field. The village
of Laragne has a vibrant central square – Place de la Fontaine – surrounded by
shops, cafes and bars.

Laragne is situated in South East France, roughly half way between Marseille and
Grenoble. It benefits from a Provence climate with mostly dry sunny weather. One
of France's best known Hang Gliding sites, Laragne-Chabre boasts exceptionally
good flying conditions from April through to October. Well spaced ridges and
valleys provide excellent potential for a variety of cross country flying tasks.
Landing fields are abundant and valley winds are rarely a problem.
