2017 North Hill
2017 and Enterprise went back to it's spiritual home at The Devon and Somerset Gliding club, North Hill. Gliders ranged from the wooden Eagle 2 seat glider (which enjoyed an epic 290km flight on day 2), through K6s, Libelles and right the way up to Arcuses and Jet powered exotica! The tasks were the usual Enterprise challenges, encouraging pilots to use as much of the day (and countryside) as possible, with points for kilometers flown, turning point turned and various daily extras! 7 out of 8 days were flown, with over 20,000 km being flown by the field of 37 competitors. Below are the daily flights, mapped out to show the variety of flights that Enterprise creates!
The final results are shown below, with trophy winners as follows;
