Where to go to break the 200km Record

With the constraints of airspace and the size of the country, there are not many sites from which you can fly over 200km.

Here is my list. Please let me know if you think your local site should be added!

NNE Leckhampton or Lords Seat
NE Norfolk Tow Site
ENE Paravion Tow Site, Norfolk Tow Site, Sharpenhoe Clappers
E Norfolk Tow Site, XClent, Sharpenhoe Clappers
ESE Norfolk Tow Site
SE XClent, Golden Ball (with Airband)
SSE Golden Ball, Mere
S Mere
SSW Nant-y-Moel, Golden Ball (with Airband), Mount Caburn
SW XClent, Rybury/Milk Hill, Elan Valley
WSW Merthyr, Frocester, XClent
W Worcester Beacon, Llangorse, Moel Yr Accre
WNW Llandinum, Long Mynd, Bradwell, Frocester
NW Llangollen, Wrekin, Lawley, Bradwell, Whether Fell,
NNW Llangollen, Wrekin, Lawley, Model Ridge
N ?

The current Hang Gliding Record is 254.2km. Hang Gliders have only flown over 200km 15 times so it will not be an easy feat.
