This is about hang gliding (again, groan!).
There is a world championship taking place in Taxas and they are 4 days of flying into it finishes on the 19th so not quite half way yet.
The brit team is 1st with two members in the indiovidual top 10!
They are flying over 100 miles each day to a goal, taking about 3 hours to do it (with an hour or so more of getting into position for the start).
Carl walbank from Liverpool is just a few points of 3rd place in 4th at the moment - and ex RAF torndao pilot, now sleasyjet pilot, Gary Wirdnam is 6th.
The team scores work by taking the best three individuals each day out of the team of 6.
In recent years the Austrians have been totaly dominant. historically the UK have won the worlds more times than any other nations (but not at all in recent years - best since I was on the team was 2nd in 1999).
I chose to sit this one out. I'm starting to regret it now!
