Scores are now up: here
Ben Hull-Bailey is running 4th :-)

2 days canned and no scores on the site?????? Is there a link I'm missing or are they available elsewhere?

By accident I purchased a Garmin GPS 76 (instead of a GPSMAP 76). I know I can re-sell it on eBay but….

I have been told (if this is correct) that it will still record flights capable of being loaded onto XCleague. Are there any small, line drawing type, UK air maps that can be loaded onto this model and viewed during flight - or will this model only record flights? There is only 1 Meg of memory. I have tried loading some air maps but they don't show up - white on white perhaps?

I have a Car GPS that I can run along side, for finding out where I am.

I know this post is a bit old now - and I'm a complete beginner but….

What happens if you download the bos waypoints when your SD card is Not plugged in?

2nd Austria 22642 pts.
3th Switzerland 22348 pts.
4th Britain 22251 pts

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.

No task. Low cloud.

whilst the latest files that i have indicate that Team uk is running in bronze position, the latest blog from the scorers has team uk running 5th.

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.

Thunderstorms!
Carl can spend the day getting therapy ;-)
Interesting results yesterday, with only 19 in goal. rest of the field scattered all over the place.
Grant has been flying consistently well, and sits 8th overall
Followed by Carl in 10th
Gordon sits 17 th after a bad day yesterday.
Dave Matthews is 22nd
Bruce, after 2 good days has risen from the depths to 48th.
Kathy sits 56th
Loopy Dave sits 73rd.

Carl flies a blinder, and lands 1km short.
Austrians have a good day and increase their lead.
The brits are very close to silver, but sit in bronze.

Carl Wallbank C'mon, you British supporters, Get behind your team, The Boy's and girl are doing good, Team is back in Bronze today and knocking on the door of Silver and Gold…

Carl Wallbank YIPPIE 3rd for the day, Euro'stask 5, 134km task ending up out in the flats to the south, lowish cloudbase made it busy during the first part, Had some excitment with Dave Mathews digging ourselves out of a hell hole, we where sceaming for joy when we where safely out. The last part of the task was a thinkings mans day… and the Brits pulled it of with 3 in the top 11.

Carl Wallbank What can i say apart from i'm totally fu$$ed…200km day going deep into the Pyrenees and up the stunning Serria Ferria ridge, mind blowing scenery, and climbs i can only descibe as capable of ripping your wings off, It was always going to be a fast day, and the best would do well…and they did. Sadly i …was not part off the best today, but very happy to make goal in a staggering 3-1/2 hrs.

Carl Wallbank Euro's Day task 3, 112km going around the valleys and ending up out in the flats towards Barcelona, very tricky bit in the middle which we knew at the start would make or break your day, i got right for once and stayed with the lead pack till the end, pushing a little at the end and come in 4th over the line only seconds behind the winner, and am very pleased with my result, bring it on for tomorrow…

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

To windy : task cancelled.
Carl gets his wish and has a day off.
Tean uK sitting in second place.
Gordon sits third overall.
Note.. results are still provisional.

Euro's Day 2, another hard 91km, i decide to go on the last clock, but just about everyone goes on second, i feel i can catch them in fantasy, but in reality i didn't catch enough, scores will be interesting, on a bonus all seven Brits in goal, so a nice ego boost for us all. For me, i'm made more mistakes in the last …two days than i've made all year, maybe i need a rest…

Carl Wallbank reports via Facebook:-

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.

I have downoaded GPS Dump to my Apple Mac and it does not recognise the kml file format (thinks it is a tracklog too? The Windows versions are more developed and may recognise it. Can we have it as a gpx format?

hi there, can anybody help me with a problem. im trying to download the bos weypoints into my garmin 76csx and seem to have managed to put them onto the sd card only and when i look for a list on its weypoint setting its showing empty.can anybody shed any light on the problem?

Hi Tony

I think I have just found it…

it took a long time and it is hidden away - as are most things..

1 . Press Menu.. Menu..
1. go to your 'routes' menu
2 . when in the 'routes' menu - press Menu.
3 . press enter on 'off road transition'
4 . Change 'route leg transition' to manual (I expect yours is set on Automatic.)

I had mine set to Distance and 400mtr

it seemed to work for me but I may try it set on manual over the weekend..

any problems - let me know.

Wayne..
