Overberg Cross Country Log

**LATEST ** LATEST ** LATEST

Greg Hamerton is still in the lead with Flygirl close in his wake.
Bernie Kelly, our true blue Australian is struggling to beat the Western Cape X-C girl.
Tickbird has a nervous tick in his eye as he realises that she-who-flies-alone is still ahead of him, even though Hammer has being holding his hand over the Flatlands.

A NEW SITE RECORD for Koringberg was set this weekend by Hammer and Tickbird - 74kms straight line (91km's with 3 TP's and a landing).  Congratulations to you both! 

They flew from Koringberg over the Flatlands to Dasklip, then down the ridge to Goedmanskraal where they were ejected into the sky by thermals and whirlies on steroids, into Constriction.  These men have their crosshairs set on Clanwilliam and beyond. The record is sure to fall more than once this summer - to the duo.  Anyone willing and able to take them on?
