The Malverns It was not a day for novices with very blustery condtions and a with a 20kt+ H/W that made it hard going into wind. Graham P set a big task and got round 429km in a monster flight lasting nearly 7 hours. I set off a bit later and eventually scratched away off the wire having declared a 300km HEC-BAN-PEN, but in the end had to abandon PEN (due to a very early start tomorrow) and turned for home at WCB to clock up a very satisfactory 260km. Rather bouncy but great fun, with some cracking views of the Malverns as I flew over, and a view of the Black Mountains 'Pandy' Ridge from overhead hereford!
