Paragliding - Gliding: Husbands Bosworth Wind Direction: All over the place! Wind Stength: 2-8knts Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 2-5C Sea Temperature: Weather: Cu's everywhere Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Declared Hus Bos - Lasham - Gainsborough - Hus Bos -Avebury - Hus Bos
First ever attempt at a 750km. Conditions were very, very good in places
but it really is grim up North. Turned short of Gainsborough, nothing but a
big blue hole, then sort of lost the urge as I could not complete the task.
Pushed back past Husbos, but decided as i hit Enstone that I could not be
bothered weaving around Brize Norton airspace so turned for home. Thought I
was going to stuggle, but odd an convergance zone meant that after gaining
500ft in a climb, came back at 100-120knts, and kept climbing. Arrived with
loads of height to spare so was forced to beat up the airfield despite the
telling off I got for last week! Still very tired from the day B4. Flew
with P12 (The Ninja) for a while, realised how much better the ASH is than
a Discus...
Coverd about 600km in 6:20 so actually had a stunning flight!
