A nice day with dryer air than earlier in the week. We hoped for good wave-conditions, but didn't get the best. A lot of flying, 45 starts, both ridge, thermals and waves. Highest flight to 3500m QFE. We towed until around 18:00 and pilots started to pack the equipment in the afternoon at the last day of Wavecamp 2010.

At last a good Vågå-day. The weather forecast showed better weather with wind from south. We could see lentics in all directions, and the highest flight was to 6300 m above the lake. 21 flights had a gold hight (more than 3000m altitude gain), and 3 diamond hights (5000m gain). Faye Riegel got the first price in the photo contest (pictures will be uploaded later)

38 flights Tuesday, highest flight 2500 m north of Kvitingskjølen in the last part of the day. Also some wave-system in the east, by Blåhø. The day started with sun and some weak thermals, but we soon had a cloud-cover over the area. We had to stop flying around early afternoon due to snow coming in from south.
