Our 2015 UK XC Season by Carlo & Nancy
Be inspired and gain valuable insights into UK XC flying from this talk, as 2015 UK PG XC league winners Carlo Borsattino and Nancy Elliott talk through some the highlights of their 2015 XC season.
Competing against better, braver pilots on EN D and CCC wings, Carlo and Nancy flew EN C and EN B wings respectively. They never flew in conditions they were uncomfortable with, sometimes standing down whilst other pilots flew. Averaging 6 plus days work per week, they have to pick days carefully. Fortunately they had a high strike rate for 2015, although often with a lots of travelling, early starts, late finishes and long flights and retrieves in between!
2015 was the biggest ever for the UK paragliding XC league: most pilots (310); most flights (2116); highest total score (112647.5 points); furthest total distance flown (100016 km); highest total score by a club (4807 points); highest total score and furthest total open distance by any pilot (top 6 flights 1424.7 points, 1225.9 km). Beyond the numbers, many great XC adventures were enjoyed!
The talk will be in two roughly 45 minute sessions. If there's time we'll have a Q&A session at the end.
