Notes

This map gives an overview of the flight, using the turnpoints to plot the track.

Its small scale has some drawbacks - short flights and loop flights may appear as a single blob, and flights along the coast may appear out at sea.

Use the XC Player for a detailed map and flight track.

Story 1

Takeoff		12:25:02
Height:	1722 ft	Duration:	0:00 hrs
Speed:	0.0 km/h	Distance:	0.0 km
Climb:	0.0 m/sec	Position:	53.349860, -1.810950

Looks rough and a bit strong and a pilot who will remain nameless has just said he nearly f*** sh**t his pants in that last climb. I wait a bit, but gliders don't seem to be having any difficulty moving around and there's a lull...

Story 2

Track point		12:30:08
Height:	1804 ft	Duration:	0:05 hrs
Speed:	29.1 km/h	Distance:	0.7 km
Climb:	0.7 m/sec	Position:	53.350050, -1.820820

Someone's said on radio that it's nicer on Lords. I try it. It's no nicer, but it's reassuring being able to use thebit of ridge lift on lords take a climb back towards mam and get some height without leaving the hill.

Story 3

Track point		12:43:06
Height:	3083 ft	Duration:	0:18 hrs
Speed:	37.5 km/h	Distance:	0.8 km
Climb:	1.5 m/sec	Position:	53.354560, -1.802500

Foul nasty climb out... I think twice about going with it, I don't want to spend the next 10 minutes in the company of this angry thermal... But it's going up, so maybe it will take me somewhere with nicer air.

Story 4

Track point		12:56:40
Height:	3274 ft	Duration:	0:31 hrs
Speed:	49.7 km/h	Distance:	6.7 km
Climb:	0.7 m/sec	Position:	53.326900, -1.718740

Hmmm... Wonder if i shoudl stick with the plan to go to the moor on Bradwell, or whether to push forward to join the guy climbing on a Sky... I think i''ll stay here, it's going up.

Story 5

Track point		13:03:13
Height:	3480 ft	Duration:	0:38 hrs
Speed:	36.7 km/h	Distance:	8.8 km
Climb:	-0.1 m/sec	Position:	53.312860, -1.695040

Bit bitty round here, head for blackest bit of cloud. Mr Sky has boldly headed over the back from Bradwell but seems to be struggling.

Story 6

Max Climb		13:06:21
Height:	4373 ft	Duration:	0:41 hrs
Speed:	48.6 km/h	Distance:	10.1 km
Climb:	5.5 m/sec	Position:	53.303560, -1.681090

Yeeeehaaa.. Wonder if Mr Sky is going to make it into this.... If he finds this one he'll be up and away.

Story 7

Track point		13:13:11
Height:	5000 ft	Duration:	0:48 hrs
Speed:	40.5 km/h	Distance:	14.0 km
Climb:	3.0 m/sec	Position:	53.281200, -1.634790

Hoinked into a thermal... Quite looking forward to getting out of the hills, maybe the air will be nicer... But wowwwwwwwww look at the view, crispy clear for miles.

Story 8

Track point		13:22:09
Height:	5498 ft	Duration:	0:57 hrs
Speed:	22.8 km/h	Distance:	18.4 km
Climb:	-0.7 m/sec	Position:	53.253880, -1.585840

Push south along the moors, thinking I've left too early, I'll catch the front up, and the next bit downwind will be sinky.

Story 9

Track point		13:34:14
Height:	3139 ft	Duration:	1:09 hrs
Speed:	36.1 km/h	Distance:	25.7 km
Climb:	1.3 m/sec	Position:	53.191730, -1.531220

Rough little climb. Don't like it.

Story 10

Track point		13:37:45
Height:	3116 ft	Duration:	1:12 hrs
Speed:	32.4 km/h	Distance:	26.4 km
Climb:	-0.3 m/sec	Position:	53.186400, -1.523570

Was expecting tracklog to show a blip here somewhere... Juicy collapse, wing recovered well.

Story 11

Track point		13:40:51
Height:	3031 ft	Duration:	1:15 hrs
Speed:	54.0 km/h	Distance:	28.0 km
Climb:	1.3 m/sec	Position:	53.172210, -1.513640

Ooh nice climb i'll stay here, first pleasant air of the day: -).

Story 12

Track point		14:07:12
Height:	4796 ft	Duration:	1:42 hrs
Speed:	43.8 km/h	Distance:	38.5 km
Climb:	1.3 m/sec	Position:	53.096480, -1.418300

Time to stop dithering, if I don't push east somewhere here I'm heading straight for airspace: -( but there are a few blobby clouds crosswind, so it's worth a gamble...

Story 13

Min Climb		14:47:00
Height:	2204 ft	Duration:	2:21 hrs
Speed:	39.6 km/h	Distance:	52.7 km
Climb:	-6.0 m/sec	Position:	53.072460, -1.171000

Biggggg sink... To the point where I start looking at my wing to see if it's still there/parachutal/collapsed or something... Hope it means there's some matching big lift coming up...

Story 14

Track point		14:54:56
Height:	4386 ft	Duration:	2:29 hrs
Speed:	20.7 km/h	Distance:	55.1 km
Climb:	3.5 m/sec	Position:	53.056900, -1.146370

That will do nicely, vicious thermal going in the right direction... But look at the drift! The further i get from the airspace, the more north there is in teh wind, pushing me back towards airspace all the time!

Story 15

Max Speed		15:09:53
Height:	4980 ft	Duration:	2:44 hrs
Speed:	70.5 km/h	Distance:	64.6 km
Climb:	-1.7 m/sec	Position:	52.983530, -1.062420

Wooo that's quick... Landing could be interesting?

Story 16

Track point		15:23:53
Height:	1266 ft	Duration:	2:58 hrs
Speed:	29.0 km/h	Distance:	72.3 km
Climb:	0.7 m/sec	Position:	52.930930, -0.985400

Now this is really not fair. I'm trying to get away from the airspace and the thermals aren't playing. I don't' want to go downwind into the blue: -(.

Story 17

Track point		15:57:23
Height:	282 ft	Duration:	3:32 hrs
Speed:	5.3 km/h	Distance:	82.7 km
Climb:	-0.3 m/sec	Position:	52.828410, -0.931090

A climb! Off a factory roof... But I can't get in it, landing options are limited (horses in one field, crops in 2 behind that, power lines... ) time to give up. I pack up, walk 100m along the road, stick my thumb out and am offered a lift back in the right direction, which turns into a lift nearly all the way back, which turns into a lift to my car. Wow. People are kind. What a nice day out.
