Arrived at Mercury to a couple of PG’s flying and absolutely no hangies. Rigged and flew as soon as some good clouds came over and immediately headed north for Abingdon…
Perhaps a bit over ambitious for a 2PM start as the blue hole beyond Basingstoke caused me to hesitate tried to carry on but got low only finally recovering over the A34 north of whitchurch which was well west of course. Toyed with giving up and flying home to Andover but instead decided to try and get back. Unfortunately should have hung around in the last bit of lift a bit longer as I was 200 feet to low to get back on top in the non soarable SE so ended up landed at the bottom and get a lift back from a generous PG pilot who kindly came down to fetch me…
