A big thank you to Richard for organising this event.
Although a fair way for me, I really enjoyed the day,and managed to not disgrace myself too much in the speed trial.
Now looking forward to Ratty's video mix !

Fantastic day Richard. Thanks for being the impeccable host for the day and putting me up for the night. Very kind. Well done to CurryKitten and Brucey for winning the two competitions on the day. the speed trials were great fun.

Another fun day - great to meet some new people, and chat to some familiar faces again.

The racing was a real highlight, I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as me - my poor little AXN was so slow around the course though :)  Never mind, it's the taking part that's the most fun.

My only complaint was that the damn winter days are just too short.

I forgot about the distance trials :) what were the results?

[krikey]

We had an overwhelming response for the distance competition: myself and CurryKitten (Wayne). My Skywalker bugged out at around 1.2km and I limped home with shame painted all over my face and CK did a respectable albeit safe 2.1km on FrSKy 2.4gHz.

I think we would have had Flyboysee as a contender but he decided to land in a bench!!!! Personally I think CurryKitten Jinxed him as I glanced over when Richard was flying and Wayne was dancing around a mannequin which looked remarkably like Richard chanting some funny song whilst wearing what looked like a voodoo mask.

So the prize went to CurryKitten. Well done Wayne.

[DaveyLC]

I wish I'd entered :(

[CurryKitten]

You snooze, you lose people :D  I only went out on a mission to set a poor 2.4/5.8 distance, and I failed at my target of 3km, as fear took over as all the ground details of fields and roads looked the same... and then my home arrow was pointing the wrong way.



I actually went slightly further than I thought... and extra 300m or so whilst we had a discussion about where I actually was and where I needed to turn around to.

[DaveyLC]

Are you talking round trip distances too?? :|

[CurryKitten]

Are you talking round trip distances too?? :|

Eh ?  So 2457m was my furthest distance from home... and then I came back (you had to make it back again :D)  Not sure what you mean, obviously we're ignoring the 8.3km in the top left as that's just total distance travelled

[DaveyLC]

Sorry, I didn't realise that was a max distance recording :D  didn't see the Total distance up the top left :D

[Ratty]

Big thanks to Rich for everything as always, and to all who came and mad it another great meet.

Hopefully will get some editing done today. Just waiting on some clips to be sent over from the bag man himself.  ;D
