Note: Because this is not a 'traditional' competition task where you have to fly around a set course, there may be some teething issues when submitting it via Highcloud. It is recommended that the tracklogs for each of the sites flown are saved and submitted as separate .igc files. The admin will then manually check them against the task requirements. If there are any issues with this process then please email info@cloudbase.org.nz.
