Less than 10 hours before rollover I'm at 6.78. After the first day of huge ups and downs (it even reached 5.90) it stabilized for 3 days and then it experienced a constant positive trend.

It could be hammered but now has a very good score. Considering the nice ideas in this challenge I guess it will get no more than a TT, but this is more than expected for this kind of image :)

Thanks for votes and comments - I'm glad I nailed a TT

OK. I stand corrected. I was told that this location is actually 300km away from this one here:
