23rd May 2004 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! |
