Particularly if you can find the sort of weather that has been around recently (e.g. clear skies, frozen ground, relatively low wind).

I've been following the ATR since its inception and have had a keen interest on the various lines employed and I tell you what, Fiona really had some good ones yesterday. There were a couple of places where she could have saved a few minutes, but given that she finished in 6:02 it's hardly worth mentioning She was flying.

She clearly has a lot of ability.
