Limited window between it being unsoarable and potentially going bang. First leg went too early- panel beater, last leg after it had kicked off - world beater, 50km final glide at 148kph!!! Sids TW - hot. hot, HOT. - Pete Startup

Almost a repeat of yesterday - scratch down the first leg, blast down the last. Sids task week - perfectly set task for the weather today as we sit having a beer at Nympsfield while the outflow from a storm cell tries to blow us away - lightning too! - Pete Startup
Very late start as we could not close the canopy in the heat. Couldn't make Uffington WH as it was in Mordor- (under a developing thunderstorm) Made it back to NYM in one piece! - Phil Morrison
Worth mentioning that ahead of the storm cell DD3 had a climb that at one point averaged 11.2 knots - yeehah!!!.
