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.

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

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

You can change the default units displayed - see the Options page.

A fairly early start and a long drive for a murky sky on arrival. Missed the first cycle having set up behind the others and then managed to spurn a perfectly good climb in the blind hope of finding a better one! Doh!

Luckily Richard Darling was watching from the bomb out field and kindly rushed me back to take-off for a re-alight attempt. The Eastern flats were all shaded out and there no birds at all. A group of young lads egged and bullied me to get in the air and after some tentative sparing in bubbles of hope for a few minutes I finally climbed out over the pass.

The rest of the flight was a case of dashing for sunny spots, taking languid lazy climbs until the dark skies threatened to engulf me and then running off to the next patch of sun - often zig-zagging around.

Finally my luck ran out at a bend in the Wye and I chose a huge village playing field to land and entertain some kids.

Glad to have resurrected a day that could have been grim!
