Mel the met man had the day listed as Eschorchio and Blue with a 2k+ base. The task was a 2hr AAT and the sniffers, Nick Kelly and Derren "beaker" Francis were launched just after lunch.
With them reporting 3000'ft and climbs of 2kts + the opens were launched first with the sports streaming behind.
There were plently of gaggles as people tried to climb in the blue together. After starting I headed into the blue yonder and promptly landed at silverstone. Thinking that starting at 3800 I had plently of height to find the next climb but no and my first "thankfully uneventful" field landing ensued.
Thanks to the guys that came and fetched me as loading an astir into a trailer cooking in the sun was no fun.
