Euroglide 2014
Route
Therefore, two very similar routes have been specified, each for one pair of classes. One route has a detour after the common route, the other route has a detour before the common route. This way we hope the prevent overcrowded airfields.
For the Selflaunchers and the Low Turbos: Starting from
Eindhoven (EHEH) to
Stillberghof in Germany. There the common route is joined, heading to the South West through Switzerland to
Roanne (LFLO) and
Poitiers (LFBI) in France. The detour after the common route is flown by rounding
Soest instead of Dahlemer Binz. For all classes, the finish is in
Malden, the Netherlands.
The Gliders start at Malden and the High Turbos
at Venlo. The route of these two classes begins with a detour. First to the East to
Ithwiesen in Germany, followed by a south eastern leg to
Amberg. Then the common route through Switzerland and France is flown. This time Dahlemer Binz (EDKV) in Germany is the final turnpoint before finishing on Malden.
The total distances of these routes ranges from 2342 to 2350 km. There is also an anti-clockwise route specified. It has the same turnpoints, but the detours are switched.
Details about these routes and also about the small and large route variants (for excellent or extremely bad weather) can be found on the rules page.
