took the M3 for its first xc today, it was a bit breezy and the site was a low hill called frocester, it is well known for long english xc's, a few local good xc pilots turned up and we all flew 30 -35 k except graham steel who flew 70k. i found the airspace a bit of a problem as there was a bit of dodging to do, at one point i was looking down the runway 0f an airbase that had 747's and stuff on the tarmac, i figuerd this might be the one to aviod which was a shame as i was climbing quite well, but towards it, a long glide downwind then land in the middle of nowhere. a bloke walked across the field who turned out to be a pg pilot who was on his way the the site i had just flown from, lift sorted = sweet.
