Last weekend we had a small three day friendly Cat 2 Hang Gliding
Competition down here on Roldanillo, Colombia.

The rainy season is somehow still doing damages even when everywhere they are
saying that "La Niña" is gone. The roads to the three different takeoff sites
are doomed, but even so we managed to get into the same takeoff used for Hombres
Pájaro 2011, after walking with the gliders and stuff for about thirty minutes
each day.

In spite of the crappy weather, we still flew a three out of three flying days.
First task was only 21 km, and highly devaluated only to give 55 points to the
best pilot. (That's the work of the scoring software anyway). Still everyone but
two of the twety three pilots got out into the sky for a mellow afternoon glide.

Second day seemed better and we managed to pull off a forty six km task, with
one pilot into goal on more than 2:30 hours of low flying under a 600 mts
working band.

Last day was a small twenty six km task on weak conditions, as everybody needed
to get going back home, with three pilots into goal.

Final results will by on my blog (http://danielvelezbravo.wordpress.com)
sometime this week, as there are two tracklogs still waiting to be downloaded.
There is also a few pictures and some footage of a few landings on the first day
of the meet.
