Who would have thought that you could soar 380km on a day like this?

This photo is from late on Sunday, when the whole sky had been completely overcast by cirrus clouds all day and the cumulus clouds had almost completely disappeared. We were stuck on the other side of Muswellbrook and had to take a 1 knot thermal to get up to final-glide height. Little did we know that there were still 6-knot thermals going to 7000ft!

Earlier in the day, this was the view crossing the Liverpool Range north of Scone: under 4000ft, overcast with cirrus and raining. But we snuck over the range and flew up to Breeza before returning.
