Take another Pilot, after 3 or so hours, maybe a bit turbulent, arriving into a busy port, you will find you are not as sharp as the last day you did circuits. My first long trip with maybe 100 hrs behind me, i discovered that hand flying for a long period of time out west took some getting used to.

Do not plan stages more than 3 hours, and perhaps only 2 stages in a day, particularly if over the interior, thermal activity will wear you down after a while.

Sounds like fun though!
