A Bimble to Blenheim

Another good soaring day with several cross-country flights. Graham P set off early for a 300km in his Lak. I turned up after work and launched in the 20 around 14:45 BST. There were some good climbs (I saw 5Kts+) and I had a local bimble which included my first visit to Blenheim Palace by glider then up to Southam clocking up over 100km. Eric didn't quite get round his task, landing the K6e out at, yes you've guessed it -Upper Heyford!

Bardford St. John Disused - Can you see the myriad of wires?
