Notes

Climb and Speed averaged over 4 second intervals.

These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Metric units are used for all chart data, except for Height which is shown in feet.

Climb and Speed averaged over 4 second intervals.

These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Average Speed around course is measured from Start to Finish points.

Track Length is the cumulative distance between track points from Takeoff to Landing.

Another day when I hadn't intended to go flying! After a rubbish day on Combe G the day before, hopping and skipping about in nil wind and occasional thermals, I really was uninspired about going out. A phone call to Peggy changed all that "we're all going, come on, we'll see you there". Scrabbled my stuff together and off I went.

After parking the cars Mike Coupe and I walked out together watching Carlo, Rich Osborne and Nancy climb out and it didn't look particularly easy. Windy and thermic on take off, a real pick your moment day. Two side landings later and I managed a climb out with Peggy, Simon Vacher and a couple of others. Quite a bit of lift around, the trick was piecing it together. Gliders ahead, below (at times) and catching me up. I was trying to fly steadily and consistently and, never having flown that route before, make sure I stayed out of the airspace.

Mike Coupe caught me up and passed me (I did wave Mike) and went on to do over 200k with several others - brilliant flying guys.

A couple of lowish saves later, caught up with Simon and Peggy and we flew together for a bit but parted company towards Oxford, I think Simon said he spotted a nice pub!

I found a fairish climb under a decent cloud but got a bit over excited, left it too early and then found nothing on the glide towards the clouds over Oxford. Arrived there a bit too low to be confident of making it over the city easily. I did find a climb but was worried about losing it so chickened out and glided out to safer landing options. I might have been OK but didn't want to land in built up areas, given that it was quite windy and I'm very nervous about being downwind of rotory things!

2 lessons learned:

1. With a tricky area to cross always stay with the lift.

2. Don't go dashing off on glide to stuff that might not be within reach.

All in all a great flight in first class company and my PB to date - hopefully more to come.

Ps I had my radio on in flight and could hear Tim P at times and also what turned out to be Carl Wallbank talking to his retrieve driver on his way to breaking the HG record.
