| Flight details: | Headed to Airworks at 10 for the ground handling session with the intention of improving my ground handling and perhaps having a soar in the sea breeze. After discusing techniques for a while we al headed over cayburn.
I intended to fly down the slope to practise kiting back up but found a little lift, started going round and round and before I knew it I was high and heading over the back. the climb was a little slow but remembering Massy's advice I just hung with the scraps and drifted past the opera house towards the gliding club.
I was thinking about a landing field when I found a stonking climb just south of the gliding club which took me high again and allowed me to push towards the Golf club.
I found a half climb there and drifted over Uckfield where I found another half climb which I drifted in until I was the far side if the town.
I hoped to make it to Crowborough and home but without a good climb and with increasing forest areas I landed in a field near some trees, out of which ran a huge herd of deer who seemed very confused by me coming at them from above!
So 18k for my new UK PB and all in shorts and a t-shirt! Glorious!! |
