Malcom Brown (3nd), Dave Mathews (1st), Pedro (3rd). Results will be around here at some point. 
Winner of the Kingpost class and top placing female Kathryn with Pete Coad, Honourable Meet Director and British team coach I beleive.
Dave Mathews winner and new British Champion. That trophy has some history!
Parting shot from the camping goal field. Fun times :)
And now it is time to short pack my glider and be a tourist for 10 days with my girl Tracey.
Task 2 I got high over launch, breaking through the inversion, and did one 360 on course that amounted to nothing.
I did get to fly low over Sisteron castle though (more on that soon). I landed shortly after, and an hour later watched 12 gliders fly over me.
Todays task, 3 or 4 ? Seemed impossible with 3 different wind directions at different altitudes that always seemed to be a headwind. The 120km flight started from Apres which was very pretty and took us over some more splendid French towns nestled in the rocks. About 12 of us got into goal today eventually. I took 5th for the day I think.
A casual Saturday at Laragne. The sport is alive and well here :)
I just flew around after launching a bit late (4pm). Got a feel for launch and the surroundings.
And take a few pictures of course, This is Chabre launch. pilots were taking off both sides, at the same time !!
Later on it was ridge soarable on the NW side. Look at the long shadow !
The first part was fascinating, the soil was rich and plants and trees absolutely vibrant. I found out later it was a deserted village that had all kinds of fruit trees and herb gardens on the hillside. Quite Enchanting ! 
The trail winds its way north-east up the lake above St. Julian. Looking toward St Andre.
I stashed the bike in the bushs and hiked up the spine to the top. Awesome views.
I would have liked to have gone around th rim but that would have put be back in the dark. 
It certainly wasn't a special day, lift went maybe 800ft over launch. Of course it is usually nice to get out and stretch the wings :)
Although last wednesday was pretty scarey when I was on glide and 50mph I got turned 2x270's without any notice at all. Zykes !! I actually went and found a giant landing field (Thorame Basse) and landed there soon after.
This low day I just cruised around in the fishbowl. Taking in the sights. Pictures seem better when closer to the terrain anyway...
I can almost see my parents house from here :)
I landed next to where my Dad landed in La Meure. Thanks for driving us Mum.
Organizers and staff.
The US team. 
10th through 5th places.

I have developed a fascination with doors here. This one appears to be carved out of one solid peice of wood! It resides in the Basillica of Chiesa Nuova.
This is one of the oldest buildings in Assisi, Minerva's Temple from the Roman era.
Round the back of Basillica of San Francesco is the Convent. There are many halls and layers to the cathedral, 4 storeys down rests the saint in his tomb.
At the top of the town, Rocca Maggiore castle looks across the valley.
And upon reaching the end of it ascending a stone spiral staircase to this great view.
The previous (Task3) day was great too. Zac took that day! 4 tasks 2 US task wins. Thats great going when you are competing with Manfred, Jonny, Alex, Carl, Mario and many others. 
The centre of the start cyclinder was right over this modern day castle. Many including me were very low here. 
The course was an out and return to the south(from the north launch), then a half moon back in the same-ish direction. 
Many including me misjudged the ground winds on the final leg. Many landed just short in some not so friendly terrain, I squeaked it in over one set of power lines and under another just making it 100m into the goal cylinder. Phew, not a pretty landing but safe enough and 9th for the day :)
Gubbio is quite close by, and was actually on route of task1. We got to see it from the air and ground.
The city has an unmistakable Italian feel.
Gubbio and the surrounding area is quite médiéval, with narrow walkways and tunnels here and there. Fortified stone city walls. 
At the top of the mountain behind town, there is a monastory. Good views back toward Monte Cucco from there. 
There are many amazing sites from the air the Gubbio that we visited a couple of days before. Some terrestrial pictures to follow. 
We have had 2 good flying days so far. Very testing courses in my opinion but I am a relative newby here.
This is Costaccairo, a village still on my to-do list. Our campsite is quite close by.
The mountain to the right was the final turnpoint on yesterdays task. Quite deep in tiger country, and just over the back is a huge monastory. No pictures because I was in a 1200fpm ripper 200ft off the spine!
Task 1 was tricky for me as I was a bit rusty and messed up the start. I had to go back after 13km and start properly, there I met the Jeffs, Zippy and Alex, who pretty much left me behind immediately. I seemed to make some different decisions and catch them at the turnpoint only to get dropped off again. Again I found them at the next turnpoint, and so on. The run to the far waypoint was under some airspace which is difficult to navigate with everything else that is going on (the gaggle flying, the no-mans land crossings and waypoint navigation) With all this many got zeros for the day... Here was the task :
