Aboyne to Lasham, June 25th 2004 - 11hrs 2min airbourne, 665km straight line distance (to set the current UK Goal Distance record), in a Nimbus 3dt glider with Gordon Macdonald. We took off at 03:53 local and landed at 14:55 at Lasham - we still felt pretty good when we landed. A really amazing flight.
Still can't work out how to post images but there's a map of the route here:

And a picture of Edinburgh, taken from 'out to sea' over the Firth of Forth at 7:45am here:

2004 was a pretty good year, as the month before I had my longest ever flight at 11hrs 30min, again in the Nimbus, on a 804km flight out of Lasham (it was an uncompleted 850km task).
