Torpedoed!

It is with some sadness that we report that the Gauntlet for August is scrubbed.

You may think this is because of some omniscience with respect to the weather, but actually, it will be the sort of challenging day our Gauntleteers love. Now the scorer can keep all the points for himself!

Wet in patches, very weak thermals and a confused, relatively light wind starting SW and going S. Probably a day type 1, 2 at a push.

The stark truth is a little more mundane: I have to focus elsewhere tomorrow (I am overseas from Tuesday and we are in the processes of buying a house we do not want to ‘miss’) and Sven is unfortunately not able to ‘cover’ this time around. With no director, no task setter, no weatherman, no scorer tomorrow will NOT be a competition day.

So, just because there is no Gauntlet, doesn’t mean you can’t fly. What would you rather do – soar in the clouds or scrape sticky mud off your wellies?

Life is full of puzzles, this one is yours!

See you in September. In fact, 9th of September at 10h00 to be exact. For briefing.

Make sure you are on rhyme.
