Geoff writes: a good flying day. We did consider going to the Peaks, but a) we thought it might be blown out, b) we were still doing LMSC stuff, having been woken by an urgent phone call at 5.00am (am, not pm!) and c) we were still feeling ill.

Eventually, we went to Clatter, where it was an epic sky. But we just started feeling worse and worse, and we didn’t launch. There were a few others there, including Martin who did get away, for around 30km. Possibly had there been some people with him, he might have got further, or maybe he was a little early, since there was still a blue hole downwind. But still, well done for that. It was all we could manage to walk back to the car.

As nearly always in this direction, the Peaks was the place to be, with at least two people getting to the coast from Eyam, and Andy Wallis doing 70km or so.
