After a scratchy start I was about to slope land as my GPS had started flashing up a low battery warning( yes I know I should have checked it before I took off) I was about 5 to 10 feet off the slope and the wing did not want to come down. So off I went again and was lucky enough to be in a thermal that took me up to around 2000 feet. So I went off with it and kept drifting over the back. I dropped to around 1300 feet and then found a small climb and then a bigger one that took me upto around 3000 feet. I didnt find anything else and ended up landing a couple of miles north of Halland. 13 k done. And very happy with my first XC
I decided to hitch back and a charming young lady stopped and gave me a lift all the way to Ringmer. I then got a lift from Dave ( sorry i dont know your second name) on his scooter back to Caburn. All in all a great day.
Now let me see if I can figure out how to upload a flight log.( I have a KML file but I dont know how to upload it?? I have attached it at the bottom - if wrong let me know ) |
