| Flight details: | It was quite thermic and my great plan was to push forward and get onto the ridge near Jack and Jill, pop down the ridge to Lewes, get over the valley to West Firle then miles and miles further. Everything was going exactly to plan except I couldn't get past Newtimber. Anyway it was fun soaring there for a bit. Thanks to Youngie for picking me up in his new passion wagon (don't laugh - your daughter might be inside). Bit of an experiment with track log. |
