Took off late after some unplanned fettling. The sea air had pushed in almost to TIB and the cloudbase was down to below 3000ft. Pushing out to Diss I got a climb to 4500ft, then ran the edge of the sea breeze to RAT. Best climb was over 6kts on the averager to over 5000ft in which I was joined by a buzzard! From Rattlesden it was pretty straight forward round Newmarket and back to Rougham where I got a good climb that put me on glide for TIB and I set off home. I hit the sea air and a slight headwind almost straight away. Didn't need to climb but couldn't resist a turn with some gulls. Picked up lots of bugs today which didn't help! |
