We decided early on not to post a daily diary this year (because of the amount of time it took), but instead to publish a record of our holiday after the event.

Another sunny day - waiting to launch on 36

Once again we collected together pilots from a number of clubs; John Bridge, Ariane Decloux, Rob Welford, Andrew Johnston and Paul Kaye from Gransden Lodge; Tony and Anne Crowden, and Mike Tomlinson from Talgarth; and Ian Godfrey, John Caton and Mike Jarrett from Lasham.

All accounts written by John Bridge unless otherwise stated. All heights are QNH.
