| Flight details: | Very busy at first until the cloud cover started to thin a little and the lift improved. A large amount of cloud cover and no inspiring clouds meant just drifting for the first 10km. Ended up pushing west to Andover to find some sun and a lift back to base, but it made the push east around Southampton airspace more difficult. A big blue hole and airspace combined to put an end to the flight....along with lots of others at around the same place. |
