After turning Norwich East, we were back at 3,500' and were able to enjoy our picnic sandwiches in the sun. We soon had to abandon Pickenham as the thermals were not as reliable or regular as they looked, so after the first turning point, went towards Diss, abandoning Diss about 3/4 of the way there as it had gone blue with thermals difficult to find.
Anyone interested can view the flight on the NGC ladder.
Our overall speed was rather on the low side, but optimistic Will says:
"... at 26.38kph .. keep up boys!! At least we have won the day for NGC!
