Geoff writes: another frustrating day. Sunny, thermic and absolutely nil wind. When there was occasional wind, a couple of miles an hour, it was SW, or WSW. We weren’t going to bother going out, but in the end we went to the Mynd at lunchtime, thinking the sun would bring it on. But nothing doing, so back home to do  some jobs. Later on we had another go, when it was a bit more west, and had a few hops, but still nothing. It was blueing out anyway. Finally, we canned it and went to archery, knowing that people had got very high at the Malverns, where it was east, and almost certainly done well in the Peaks, where it was west with a nice breeze. As usual, we seemed to be stuck in the middle.

Update: and the longest flight listed so far is 168.9km turnpoint flight by Jake Herbert, from Wether Fell in Yorkshire to the east coast. I’m sure there’ll be a lot more flights to come in.
