Stunning! Had the best climbs to the highest point I have ever had in the
UK. Started at 3000ft, but ran straight into a thermal up to 4400. Turned
back and re-started. Blue to the first turn point, but as I started late I
had plenty of people marking climbs for me so just cruised across big holes
straight into the thermals. After the first turn I climbed high enough to
get to the cu in a convergence zone. Then it went nuts. Had several climbs
to 5500ft, but had to leave due to airspace above. cruising at 80-90knts,
pulling up and making 4-500 ft then pushing on. Ran into one climb that
averaged 9.5knts. Incredible! last leg was 100km, and I climbed to 6500ft
onto final glide 80km out. Came back at about 100knts all the way. Averaged
105kph. Left me in one hell of a good mood for the party!
