Direction :: South
Comments :: Launched just after midday and initially had the sky to myself, apart from a bird of prey that followed me around squawking. Eventually decided to go XC with a (Team 5?) blue wing. They raced off towards Marlborough and found a climb. I joined a sailplane in a climb above the Manton Estate stables (which has worked before) and bimbled around Lyneham airspace, got a few more climbs and landed at Faringdon. Climbs were really rough and pretty unpleasant, with a strong inversion around 4500'
