NH2 - SALISBURY CATHEDRAL - NHL 213kms
711 Out and Return to Salisbury -Ron & Dan Johns
DD3 "Conditions were good to Salisbury but we turned back at Salisbury South as we thought it was getting a bit too late to do the full 302km task. Sadlly the anticipated sea breeze front failed us on the way home and with no climb west of Yeovil we resorted to the iron thermal at Watchford Farm to guarantee a stress free return. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable flight and great to experience climbs to 6000 ft around Salisbury. " - JB & NJ
CUL - MARLBOROUGH - NHL 254kms
V5 " A fallback task from a 500kms, Good day out with 230,711,W7,SM,DD3 " Rich Roberts
