Almost every year, there's a paragliding competition at St Andre. Last year, it was the Europeans and this year it was a week of the British Open (the other week was in Portugal, earlier in the summer). Apart from an early morning hike and fly to test new gear, I didn't fly during the comp, but I took my girlfriend up to watch the pilots launch one day.
Conditions for the week weren't too bad but early afternoon overdevelopment limited the flying. As a result, only 3 tasks were scored in 7 days but the competitors I talked to were pretty happy with their 3 tasks. Hopefully, they'll be back next week.
