Best Placed Brit was

From Jamie
Final day and we managed to get a task in despite a less than ideal forecast, a late start and fair amount of whining. Turned out to be the perfect task out into the flats with around 40 at goal and everyone happy. Individual standings will remain pretty much the same, although team scores could change up a bit. There's a small chance that team UK could move into the bronze metal place, but we won't know until the scores come in.

They are heading up the hill. Although conditions are going to be weaker and the forcast less than promising, a task should be possible.

edit Ah! NOW I SEE WHY..The picture of the scores they have used is the wrong one!… :-)

Not such a big task today. But enough to change the scores around a bit. The Brits have dropped to forth :-(. Bring on tomorrow, lets hope they can recover.

Just found out that the scorers have a blog as well. here
It seems they have been experiencing some difficulties.

It has been noted that the bloggers have not been bloging about the right stuff. They all seem to of omitted vital info.
OZ report carried a letter of complaint, and now everyone seems to ensure that his name is noted, and more pics are being posted of Gerolf Heinrichs. Good grief, any one would think he has won two out of three tasks

Europeans Day 1, a big 134km task, very stable for the most part, and a long list of errors by me ending in a not so good result but i did get to goal crossing the line only just with about five others making it very interesting, Four Brits in goal Gordon/Grant/Me and Kathleen, Dave Mathews just a field short, Bruce and Shedsy have just got there bad days out of the way today.

Not sure whether to take it as a compliment or insult, but either way leaves a bit of a bad taste (not unlike my Bleriot Comp 'veggie' food) to think I'm being thought of as a cheat. Still 'sticks & stones'…

Well, I would LOVE to be called a 'ringer' in the main class too, because I'd have to do really well in my flying, as well as just being a bit lucky.

I have seen on the very basic Etrex (not suitable for competition admittedly) that you could set it to "OSGB Grid" but have any datum you liked. Result - (cross country) pilots ringing in an incorrect "TM135635" style location.

In summary:

1. If using GPS in "ordnance survey" mode then needs to be OSGB Grid and OSGB(36) datum.
2. If working in long-lat, use WGS84.

First year of competition for me this year, so will be interesting to see how this works in real tasks.
