This flight had a lot of highs & lows!

The clouds over the back of Pandy were starting to over develop & looked pretty monstrous, that & the lack of civilization & the prospect of a very long hike out didn't make me so keen to do a downwind dash. A few people were trying the Pandy ridge run but none had crossed over the 'cats back'. A few pushed out well forward probably to try a triangle, but the BCC task was open distance. I didn't really have any plan. Just thought I would head south towards Abergavenny before going down wind (if at all) to be closer to civilization on landing out.

I pushed forward and took a climb well forward from the ridge & pushed out further before taking another climb. Working cross wind was hard work with slow progress & it very nearly landed me on the deck. I found a low save over a small tree covered hill at the south end of the Pandy ridge which took me back to a decent height. Pushing on lost that height pretty quickly. The next climb took me towards the mountains, up to base & a glide right over the the top of Sugar Loaf mountain. At this point I was under the big clouds & glad of having done an SIV course a couple of weeks ago. Rock & roll! One more climb took me to Crickhowell & the campsite was tempting. But I found one more climb & followed the river Usk to Llangynidr.

Came in a bit short of my selected landing field so plan B field it was. The exit route to the road was a bit mission impossible with some fence limbo, crossing someone's back garden, more fence limbo, dodging electric fences & eventually back out to the road. All done without being shouted at: ), bonus. I spotted another pilot landing in my plan A field so went to meet him. We were met by someone else's retrieve & I got a lift to the village pub which wasn't far, & was a very pleasant spot, to wait for Steve.

I felt a bit deflated after this flight. It was an awful lot of work for little distance. 6 climbs & 1hr 53 minutes of air time would have got me 40Km any other day. But actually its longer than any of the Wales flights I did last year, I cracked some real low saves, deliberate cross winding was a first for me & crossing Sugar Loaf was pretty epic: )
