Originally Tuesday was expected to be better than Monday!! But of course life doesn’t work out like that and it would have been pretty impossible to beat Monday. Unlike yesterday, the day started well but as predicted high cloud came in somewhat limiting the lift but not by much, then the wind became more of a factor. The furthest west reached was Sherbourne but more did better to the east with Ely being the furthest but more landout/engine starts. No-one made it to either coast.
Justin achieved 655k, David Masson 602k and Paul Kite 558k. 3 more exceeded 400k and 8 over 300k. David had the highest points but, remembering Enterprise rules, the Day’s Winner bottle went to second placed Paul Kite.
Total distance flown by 23 pilots was 7,871k (averaging 342k per pilot) with 13 getting home.
