| Flight details: | Dyke to Steyning and back via Newtimber. Low save over Upper Beeding in thermal marked by seagulls got me back to the ridge at Truleigh. I thought I'd see if it would allow the FAI triangle and it seems to. Is this allowed though as the last leg was near the ridge? The last thing I would want is to gain points in our XC league unfairly?? Can anyone comment please as to its validity? |
