The North South Cup is a delightfully informal comp organised by Jim, Hugh and Jocky bringing together some of the best pilots in the UK. The comp is mobile and will follow the weather to the best location. This spring that turned out to be be one our local sites: Tinto in the Scottish Borders. With one of the best forecasts I have ever seen, 50 pilots set off to a distant goal. Over 30 people flew over 100km south into Englandshire; 10 flew over 200km with 8 of us in goal at Skipton at 210km after about six and a half hours. Guy carried on to set the new Scottish record at 217km - previously 154km. The next step is to do a 200km flight in the Highlands which will be an even bigger adventure. All we need is the right forecast. :)
