Is the Francisco Grande Golf Resort a good place to hold a hang gliding meet? I think so, but it takes a whole bunch of pilots thinking so to make for a well attended competition. First off it is a great idea to hold a hang gliding meet at a small resort so that everyone can be together and socialize with everyone else before and after the tasks. Everyone stays at the hotel (with a reduced room rate), and eats and drinks at the restaurant and bar. This makes for a lively community.

It was disappointing to be so busy and not have internet access while I was down there. I did get a chance every morning to write up a blog post / log book entry, and I'll be publishing the stories this week along with photos. It's all in the past now, but I'll go along in chronological order...
Tuesday MornSubmitted by Mark Dowsettâ on Tue, 04/22/2008 - 07:46Sorry for no blog posts! Time sure flies when you're flying. The meet is going great....I think there is almost 63 pilots and the resort here is packed. The flying has been 'good' but not as good as last year unfortunately. The conditions have been light....light lift and more wind than last year. It still makes for challenging conditions. Results are here
