| Flight details: | The task was to cross the pass at the Western end of the valley. I was last to take off and flew with Owen and Ivo high in the mountains. Owen encouraged me to take the thermals all the way up to cloud base, well over 7500 ft. I saw him disappearing into cloud and the next thing I found myself there too. I landed next to Crispin and then joined by Pete in the last field before the pass. It was such a fabulous, but technical flight. |
