Have fun.

Offer to tag along with BB and DB dropped due to really mullered fingers from Crantock and vent-testing. That and the fact that some of my pot-grown Sun Flowers are ready to be planted in proper earth (oh dear, that's sad :lol:). If it's any help, I've lost 6 babies from slug-munching so this is an important moment for me. That's sad too isn't it?

Oh well.

Sunday TO

Prelim rnd 1

Craig vs Pete - Craig progresses
Bryan vs Al - Al progresses (Note to self - having the kite airbourne - at some point during proceedings helps ;-) - well done Al.)

Round 1

Piero vs Cameron - Piero progresses
Steve vs Danny - Steve progresses
Dave vs Al - Dave progresses
Chris vs Craig - Chris progresses

Semi Finals

Piero vs Steve - Piero progresses
Chris vs Dave - Chris progresses

Final

Piero vs Chris - Dead heat, 4 votes each - no fly off due to busted stick - amicable draw. Nice flying fellas.

I'll convert all this into ranking points later in the week, when someone has posted the Saturday results.


Great day out - Really nasty wind, but bright sunshine and thoroughly decent company, thanks all, well worth the trip - Nice to see John out and about too. ;-)

Jeez, I can almost see the flying from those results. Excellent in what was probably fairly ballistic wind if today was anything to go by.

Well done Cameron, he's just a little chap, a future C. Goff, no? :)

Well done to Piero too if it was really windy.

Nice report Bryan!

Great to see some flying despite the grim winds. The final with Piero and Chris was great to watch - evil wind but really sweet moves were pulled nonetheless!

Looking forward to another trick out in Brighton in a few weeks.

I think you'll find that Chris won that round! Bad luck for Cameron though, drawn against Chris twice in a row.
Love Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Needs to fly more, now that I can.

Wow that must've been 2 amazing trick-out finals! Sounds like truly awful wind throughout the weekend.

Well done Chris for Saturday's results and also to Piero for actually beating our resident god on Sunday! Nice one mate :)

Would love to see vid/s of the compo's if any was taken?

Nope, Saturday was OK, got really sweet wind in the early evening, just Sunday was sufficiently bad to wipe any memories of it.
