Site:Milk Hill
Pilot:Vincent Talleu
Date of flight:29th June 2015
Wing type:Paraglider
Flight details:
Went for another day out with the big boys, set a 190km task like the big boys, because why not!

Landed 160km short of goal because I was not patient enough to stay in the zeros until the sun came out.

Got a super strong low save over a tractor, but lost it few hundred feet in, very hard to stay in, and some buzzards tricked me into going for something better that actually wasn't!

Lessons learnt: When the sky is covered in cirrus, stay in zeros.
When only a few hundred feet above the ground in a strong low save, stay with what you have, focus on your thermal.

Good day out!!!
