Another 300k from TIB...and it's still only April!

East Anglia drew the short straw on what was a 500km+ day inland, with one ladder flight of 840kms!!! It was a relatively poor start at TIB, but it did finally get going and Dave T fought his way upwind to Long Sutton in Lincolnshire and back for a creditable 158kms in his LS4. Meanwhile Peter S A (visiting again from Marham) took his Ventus to Syerston and Rattlesden (over 300kms) seeing 5kts to 6000ft further inland. Not the 500kms they'd initially hoped for, but good XCs nevertheless...and remember, it's still only April! Back at base the Wednesday regulars and the course guys had some good local soaring after lunch. Unfortunately I couldn't fly 'LY' today as I was cordially invited to attend work.
