League XC Flights & TVHGC Sites Comp   This week has seen the first XCs from our sites uploaded on to the XC League website.  The club and National XC League is a great way to record and review your flights, see how friends have done and help the club move up the league table. You can enter flights just for the club or if over 10km they can also be entered in the National league.   The TVHGC Sites Comp is a comp just for TVHGC members and is a great way to get to know your equipment, gain a better understanding of our sites whilst helping to improve your flying – If you'd like to learn more about our sites, XC flying or how to enter flights then come along to the club meeting and have a chat. As for current results, the early leaders are: 9 Waypoints - Chris Williams 8 Waypoints - Harry Bloxham 7 Waypoints – Richard Bungay There are over 60 waypoints to bag so no real advantage gained by the early flyers. Prizes galore are provided by the event sponsor Cloudbase Paragliding.
