Just a quickie to say hopefully today was a taste of things to come.
A great day had by all on Clough Head...Good NHPC turn out.

BUT I have just come off the phone to Kitt Rudd Who today flew from Clough Head landing just over 100 Km Later

WELL DONE KITT ( b*st**d}

Ye what a day, you had to be there.........

Don't miss Ben Keayes 91.9K flight landing very near Kitt and Marra Martins 51K's also. CSC leading the way for the second year on the xc league and if the boys keep flying like this were gona be hard to beat!

My excuse for not getting any distance is that I was tied up literaly with Border T.V. making a paragliding program. But with out trying managed to get the tandem to 5 grand twice with the producer attached to me.

Lets hope this is the start of a season to remember.

What a grand day - Got very low on a couple of occassions. The lessons yesterday for me were 1) You have not stopped flying till you are on the ground. 2) changing batteries on your GPS in the air is quite disconcerting to say the least. 3) Take more time to study my airmaps so that I am more familiar with the Flight levels. This is now the Fourth time I have diverted my course in fear of infringing airspace. With a bit more prep I would be better armed.

Till the next time

I have just been reliably informed that my trip out of the lakes this week is the earliest recorded 100km scoring flight. It also happens to be the longest flight from the lakes beating the distance set last year.

End of the self- praising triumphalism.
