Monday 24th May

First day of Ron's Cross-country week. Bright blue skies, no wind and hot and that's the way it stayed all day.
The morning showed little sign of it being cross-countryable, but desperation after lunch tasked the Club 100kms to Tiverton and Yeovil. Conditions locally were brilliant, 4kts to 4000'QFE, but half way down the eastward leg it started to get tricky - broken climbs to not very high. Eight took off for the task, of the three who flew beyond the sanctuary of the Blackdown Hills, two landed out, one motored home.

The Chairman's first field landing, adjacent to his back garden and an easy walk to a refreshing cup of tea. Later scrutiny of the trace showed turning of Tiverton East and Yeovil for a completed silver distance (subject to height confirmation) - Well done Peter.
