Gransden Lodge - Papworth - Gransden Lodge

If you are pre-solo, discuss with an instructor before doing any task.

Difficulty	easy
Minimum set-off height	3,600 ft
Distance	15.7 km
Airspace	Stay below 5,200 ft QFE south of Gransden. If you get low over Bourn airfield, land rather than getting in the way of Bourn traffic!
BGA Ladder Points	93
Suitable weather conditions	winds from north with moderate thermals or better

This task is an out and return. Do the task when winds are from the north so you are blown back towards the airfield. It would be worth attempting the out and return to Caxton Gibbet before attempting this task.

Extra points can be gained by making the flight a GRL-PAP-CAX-GRL triangle, without significantly changing the flight.

Directions

The village of Cambourne and Bourn airfield are easily recognisable landmarks. Note that the main runway at Bourn points towards Gransden Lodge.
