Bruce Kavanagh wins British Hang Gliding Open
Bruce Kavanagh, a brilliant and dedicated hang glider pilot
Bruce Kavanagh (Wills Wing T2) took first place in the first round of the British Open Series at the Long Mynd in England, nearly 1000 points ahead of second-placed Tony Stephens (Aeros Combat). Third was Dave Matthews (Moyes Litespeed). Bruce is now British Open Champion 2008.
The comp, which ran from 2-6 May, saw two good tasks (a 50km task with seven in goal on day two; and an 80km task with nine in goal on the last day), two days canned and one disappointing day where a task was set but only extended top-to-bottoms possible.
The BOS is a series of three UK-based competitions, the second of which will be held at Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales from 9-13 July.
