Declared Hus Bos - Lasham (Basingstoke) - Gainsborough - Didcot - Hus
Bos
Hammered down to the first turn at 110kph, messed around there a while, got
caught out by thinking that these local soaring guys were actualy turning
in something worthwhile, then crusied back up the country. At Granthem
there was almost total overcast but decided to push on regardless. Not many
climbs, and far between them, but staggerd across the dodgy sky, then on
the other side of the clag, it was boombing again. Turned Gainsborough, and
hurtled downwind. Good climbs, but a long way inbetween. I love open class!
never made it to Didcot, turned short at Silverstone. Just took too long
crossing that crap up North.
575km, 7:10! Longest distance and longest glider flight i've ever done.
