Comments :: After a bit of mincing about on the ridge in the morning, got away after lunch in a weak climb to 800+m ato. Was joined in the same lift by Andy Edwards who eventually caught up with me. Drifted with the lift over the back and got several more climbs up to base at 1100+m ato. Flew down towards Andover, then turned SE away from the airspace. Eventually landed at Stoke Charity near Micheldever as we ran out of airmap! 27.3km. Not exactly record breaking stuff, but very nice all the same. Definitely my best ever flight from CG. Endured a 3 mile walk out to the main road only to find the Waggon & Horses pub was closed, so no celebratory ale to be had. Was very kindly retrieved later by Rich Ford. Thanks mate! We'll do the same for you one day! Peachy!
