On Thursday afternoon, when the blue skies finally condescended to sprout some friendly cumulus, Alex Mazzoleni, one of our UWEGC student members, launched in the Club Astir and set off into a brisk north-easterly on his first solo cross country, attempting AST-EDG(ehill)-AST for his Silver badge. Alas, it was not to be, but he did get as far as Moreton-in-Marsh before returning. A noble attempt and a successful cross country flight. Bravo!
