Amazing March Airmass

This has been the driest March in the UK on record with an amazing airmass giving great flying conditions in the north of the country for the last 2 weeks. The Winter XC League has been won by Phil Colbert with a record score of 406.9km, including a 125.3 km open distance flight on 18th March (the earliest ever 100km flights), and a triangle in the Lake District scoring 94.2km on 25th March. The excellent conditions migrated to the Alps with stunning early season flying on 29th and 30th March. Gerald Ameseder flew a 219.1km FAI Triangle on 30/03 from Hochstein in Austria and Paolo Manfrin flew a 174.3km FAI Triangle on 29/03 on his Aspen 3 from the Eggishorn in Switzerland.
