VMAX doesn't count so you did not go at 50 knots.

Congratulations Ben! Brilliant achievement joining the 50 knot club - I honestly didn't see that coming - well done! Also the video series is excellent, it's been great following your progress since West Kirby - that must seem a long time ago now! You should be very proud of what you've achieved.
I'd love to know a bit more about the 50 knot run. How did it feel? Were you on the edge? How did you adapt to the part of the course where the lull hits and then peaks at the end? How scary is the lay-down at the end? Did you make it back in time for your flight?
Cheers mate!
p.s. slightly less swearing would be great, you're an articulate guy, you don't need it ;)
