Day 5 ‘To The Seaside’ - The task set was a string of turnpoints running north west and south east of Aston Down. Pilots could use a maximum of 5 turnpoints before returning to Aston Down.
In DG1, I opted to fly to the North West into Wales, picking up the bonus points for doing so and avoiding all the nasty looking airspace to the South East. I then flew North to the Mynd and back to Nympsfield where I had to land due to Aston Down being cut off from the sea air for a total of 270km. It was nice to bump into 230 Pete at Nymps!

Ron flew a similar task into Wales but was able to get back to Aston Down due to the 60:1 glide angle of the ASH.
Team Eagle and DD3 opted to go East and carefully plotted their paths trough the airspace, with the Eagle notably managing 250k’s!
Nick in JDD decided to have a rest day to recover from the excitement and lack of sleep after yesterday’s adventures.
In the evening, we all enjoyed the enterprise party. - Pete Bennett
