Talgarth wave from Bicester

Ed and Roger Colbeck tow 13 to Bicester on a gloomy Sunday morning, rig and climb up through 8/8ths and head West. As expected the Black Mountains do their stuff with Wave right up to FL125 under the Airway there. A small top up behind the Cotswolds on the way back into a 30+ wind and some unexplained energy lines and home. A fascinating 5 hours.
