Yorkshire Rose
Similar to yesterday’s task, a line running East - West and another North - South through Sutton Bank split the country into 4 quadrants. Points were scored for flying to turn points in each quadrant.
Again, there seemed to be 2 general plans, stick locally and pick up a turnpoint in each quadrant or venture to the south towards the better weather for more distance but sacrificing the bonus points for going into each quadrant.

I opted to fly towards the good weather and tiptoed down towards Pocklington with the cloud base around 2000ft above Sutton Bank. The weather appeared to be better around Pocklington, so I decided to head further south towards Scunthorpe, crossing the river Humber. The steel factory at Scunthorpe provided an 8kt climb in the steam and took me back to Pocklington, where I connected with a convergence.

This got me to 600ft above glide but then turned into rain which put me into another field about 10km from the club!
