Whisky - for first Winter 15km flight PG or HG from Broughton
David Thomson from Lanark & Lothian Soaring Club is offering a bottle of whisky for the first pilot, this winter, to fly a 15Km soaring flight from Broughton.
Here's what David says:
Since everyone likes a challenge - here's one to work on over the winter ! I'm going to put up a bottle of whisky for the first person (from now ) to complete a 15km turnpoint flight by soaring at Broughton. I wouldn't want to discourage folk from going XC on a good day so this is intended as a bit of ridge soaring but its quite challenging to get the full distance. Here's the detailed rules ;-
1) Its open to all BHPA member PG and HG pilots.
2) It needs to be validated in the SHPF XC League
3) Take off on the ridge within 1500m of Lochurd Farm
4) Landing needs to be within 200 m of Lochurd Farm
5) Maximum height 2500 ft
