Good start, glided onto Rabies into a 2.5ms climb
10 gliders turned straig back to Woodrat, I stayed in the climb – the 10 found a good climb on Woodrat and that formed the lead gaggle and gave it an immeadiate break.
Played catch up for the next 2 TP and closed down a little.
Last TP was FlyAir, lead gaggle dived in and looked like they might find it hard on the west side of the valley. I hung and reclimbed at Rabies looking for the height for a single glide.
Still had to reclimb for 100m in the valley after the FlyAir.
Lead gaggle found some lift and made it to goal by 15 mins. Dean Stratton lead the way.

Lessons
With relatively short tasks there is not much opportunity to catch up when you lose the leading pilots.
