There is a group called 'Forumites'.
 
I'm Plastic Pig.
 
I didn't know that. How do you join the group?

Just got back from Zurich. Managed to get online just enough... even persuaded someone to let me tether to their phone :)
 
Unfortunately I really wasn't lucky with the winds around the Azores high, so have been loosing many miles and places to others. Dougal is now right on my tail! 
 
Hopefully I can start to edge out again as I pick up the stronger breeze, but the forecast seems to indicate another high sweeping the area, so need to push on North asap.
 
Bootscooter, I reckon you'll be OK....just.

And to think I was in the 18ks at one point, turns out you lose out a fair bit when you avoid gates...

Well, I think I've done all I can strategically to get past Bootscooter - now it's all going to be down to the wind angles for a drag race over the next few days as to which of us gets home first.
