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 Start to Finish points.

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

Interesting flight yesterday. Having looked at RASP and other forecasts we had about 207km declared. On arriving in the peaks we were greeted with 7/8 cover and about 8-10mph easterly. The cloud cover was interesting as RASP had given a reasonable early start with good thermalling height from 10:00/11:00. We opted to go to Treak and get kit out early and transition to Mam Tor ready for the winds to drop off. As we were preparing the kit the wind dropped off very quickly and we only just made the bottom of Mam Tor from the transition. A very long hot slog up the face of Mam in our gear followed.

Once on top of Mam we could see others getting ready. Matt Cook and Helen Gant were first off marking a nice little climb in front of take off (thanks) around 11:45 followed by Idris and I. Looking south west there was a gap of blue sky for 5-10km and so we decided to push first towards Bradwell then south west where the nice cumulus was. Pushing south south west through the Peaks, cloud base was only 3400 ish and climbs were slow… Really slow. It then turned into 2hr mince fest just trying to get out of high ground. Our first decent climb was around Ecton marked initially by a sailplane and then a bunch of birds which got us to cloudbase and around 4000ft… Finally!

For the next 20km I was relatively low but at least the glides we longer and less cross wind. Just north of Stafford conditions started getting better with nice climbs and higher base. Given how long it took to leave the Peaks and the time we left the hill I wasn't confident we would make goal but our average XC speed was much faster and increasing. From here it was much more classic conditions with climbs to around 4500-5000ft and nice long fast glides.

Around Cleehill/Ludlow area we decided to call it a day as we knew we could catch a train from Leominster back to Edale. Of course on last 10km glide we had beautiful street ahead of us and we were climbing solidly on full bar… Typical. If we carried on I think we may have got Hay bluff/Aber way however happy to have a flight in good company. Idris Birch.
