2013-06-02 15:03:19 - PB race.
Hi I missed the first mark on this race. I went back and rounded but it does not show I rounded and nor any of the other marks rounded and Im getting an increased mileage to the finish. Is there an issue as I def rounded the marks but the system does not seem to acknowledge it!!! Im not sure if I should go back or just carry on!!! Please help. Many thanks

Tim, I'm afraid you didn't retrace your track correctly. If you pass the wrong side of a mark you have go back that side like unwinding a string wrapped around a post and then pass on the correct side. That is why you are still shown as not having passed correctly and continue to go down the rankings. We have all been there.

Thanks Tyger your a star...I assume I must go the the wrong way round the mark in reverse to get back on track!! Yups what a big learning curb. Im sure the site has some advice on this somewhere but its a new one on me....think I may just have a long bbq on this race until it closes. Thanks so much for your help. Sol is such a great site for friendly and helpful support much appreciated. BR Tim (PR)

Pocket Rocket - a browse of the SOL Manual (p21) may be of help. Just click on the Manual link at the top of this page and then on the SOL's Client Manual link.

:-)

There's a lot to learn in SOL and it takes ages to find all the functionality and, once found, to remember to use it!

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
