He commented as follows

My first thermal cross country in the SparrowHawk. Not a straight-forward day ... mostly blue along this route ... but good enough to claim 3 ultra-light world records: 500 km O&R speed at 92.54 kph, O&R distance at 622.4 km, and free O&R distance at 630.8 km. Thank you, Greg Cole. Circled White Mountain Peak for 100 Benbrook Challenge points.

Way to go ..
