June 24th - Regionals Day 4

Tuesday was also sunny, and today we were sent on a longer task - Edgehill, Newent, Stourport, Bishops Cleeve and home for 202km. Quite a few of us didn't make it home again!  I planked it, landing H20 in a beautifully harrowed field near Berrow in Worcs not having even reached the first TP, and was joined by C34 again who had been there and back but got caught low at the wrong time like me. First door I knocked on turned out to belong to a Bidford glider pilot who was super helpful and took us to the farmer. Another easy retrieve, though a long drive cross country back the same way as the previous day! Lesley C and a friend had cooked a brilliant lasagne for tea so although we got back late we were fed and watered. 
The day was won by Tim Fletcher (Paul's son) in their libelle TP. This put Tim in the lead of the competition.
