"Pete set us a 300km out and return to Pershore (quite modest compared to Chris Gills 620k) but still challenging to get back over the Llantysilio mountain range into Wales, because of spread out and the lack of sun on the ground." - Nick Jones DD3
Thomas Telford’s Aquaduct (Nick Jones)
A decent days soaring from North Wales. once we got out of the lumpy bits it was easier but after following a romping line of energy on the way back from Pershore we ran into a wall of spread out near Oswestry but with one finger hovering over the start button we found, or it found us, a gentle thermal that got us back on our usual over glide. then sod's law as we approached Denbigh it recycled. A great day and we beat Pete!" - Phil Morrison DD3
Shrewsbury which is nearly completely encircled by the river Severn. (Nick Jones)
"I set this task so shoud have done better.
Problems (only mine it would seem) with spreadout and gloom made the leg
home largely one of just getting back using the get high, stay high, go
slow technique! Phil and Nick in DD3 showed how it should be done!" Pete Startup 230
