I did QXC two weeks ago, loved every minute! Took off straight into a rain squall, popped out 30sec later into "clear" sky, spent 20mins dodging squalls to first turning point, raced very thick black stuff to turning point, (best steep turn onto track I've done). Ran for Perth to first land away, landed, signed in, black stuff caught up, got dumped on for 10mins trying to have a smoke!. Took off for Dundee, trying not to catch up with departed black stuff, landed, signed in & ran for home, landed in bumpy crosswind. Distance 105nm, NPPL good enough! Great stuff, GST next Wed, hope the weather starts to behave.
