Join the Avon Planning chat group on Telegram and monitor it, particularly if the forecasts are looking good a few days out. Don’t just blindly follow where everyone else is going, although do be prepared to travel. The XC hounds may well be off somewhere because it has the best chance of them clocking up some enormous distance, but the same site may be totally inappropriate for the less experienced pilot. Once you have been out a few times, you’ll probably be able to team up with pilots of your own standard so you can save on travelling costs.
