A good turnout for briefing and lots of optimism for a decent day. Several 300kms were planned and 3 got round - the Stemme completing Watford Gap O/R and Chris L and Tom S making it round their tasks via Hus Bos. Several of us (Tim D, Bob, Tony G, James F and myself) flew 200km+. It was a day of very hot cockpit temperatures and at times tricky inconsistent thermals. There was also lots of local soaring and a good day was had by all.
