For the third year in succession, Sisteron is host to
a Duo Discus competition. Gliders and competitors in previous years have
come mainly from France, but all nationalities are welcome, as long as
they bring a Duo with them. It is the sort of competition that can be as
extreme or as relaxed as one chooses; with large assigned areas within
easy reach of landable airfields it is more like a panoramic task week
than a serious competition. Ariane has again bagged a flight or two with
Hervé Perrin, and will report on her adventures in due course. The
competition runs this year from June 4th-11th.
