Vintage Rally Day 4
Camphill - Alton Towers - Chatsworth - Camphill
Set off with high hopes, in company of Mr. Pursey, which were soon to be dashed when we flew into stagnant air from the Liverpool gap. Wasted 700 ft optimistically searching around the inside of a massive quarry before abandoning the first turn-point and tiptoeing back to a hot looking rock face adjacent to a landable field, both of which were obliged to work! Trouble was, nobody told the rock face. so we scrabbled around for 20mins at about 800ft until the rock face got the message and provided the required thermal!
Chatsworth House (JB)
A visit to Chatsworth on the way home, because it would have been rude not to call in on the Duke of Devonshire as we were passing.
Many thanks to all our friends at Camphill for organising an excellent rally. - JB
