This was the 30th annual event which is a spot landing contest from Mt. Swansea which these picts were taken from. The Lakeside Pub sits on the north end of Windemere Lake, just over the sailplane.They put an inner tube in the water about 30 yards off shore for the target. It's only about 3 ft. deep. If you win you get $1000.00 dollars
We went up the day before and shot these picts of the sailplanes.
Hangliders and paragliders each have a shot at $1000. The year before the same pilot won both and walked away with $2000.
The Pub. This event is always held on the weekend after the Willi so pilots can attend both. Usually they call a task to Invermere airport on the last day of the Willi which is about 65miles from Golden.
This was a great event with a killer meal served in the pub and then a live band after, lots of the town comes out for it. I would like to go back and do it again sometime.
