These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Average Speed around course is measured from Takeoff to Landing.

Track Length is the cumulative distance between track points from Takeoff to Landing.

You can change the default units displayed - see the Options page.

It was pretty much top end wind for most of the day but a few of us managed to get off the hill. After an inordinate amount of time on the ridge I managed to get away.

The Pewsey Vale was like a 3 lane highway as the Sailplane Junior Nationals had tasked dow nto Keevil from Lasham. I was sharing most of my thermals with a sailplane or 2.

I gave Carfest South a good berth and pushed on towards Basingstoke. About 7.5km short, and at 3000ft the battery died on the GPS so I hope you will all believe that I cruised on happily and landed on a football field about 10 mins walk from the railway station. I actually arrived over Basingstoke with oodles of height and had to spiral and big ears down to the field. I've got a lovely photo of me at landing, Sherborne Road Playing Fields SU629535.

Overall, (apart from the GPS), this was a fantastic day out. The thermals were fairly sprightly and I had a few collapses but nothing too worrying.
