Geoff writes: North east today, so a choice of sites. Corndon is the closest, but we decided to go to the Malverns with the BCC. There was a memorial flight at Corndon for Gordon, organised by Mark Leavesley. This was very well attended, and included some of Gordon’t family who drove down from Scotland. I think they appreciated the event very much.

On the way to the Malverns, we decided to divert to Pandy, because there seemed to be a lot of north in it. Arriving at Pandy, it seemed a mistake – people lobbed off at intervals, but no-one did very much. Eventually, after a couple of hours waiting, it began to improve, and I launched and managed to get up, followed a short while later by Judith. We did the whole ridge run to just short of Hay Bluff, making a flat triangle, which with a multiplier came to 55k. It was far from a no-brainer, and did require thermalling to cross from one ridge to the next. On the other hand, it still was mostly a ridge run, and a multiplier of 2 seems quite a lot. Anway, the flight was a lot of fun. Wayne also had a good flight, and Michaela and Luke also flew.

See Wayne’s photos of today.
