Black Bottle, Dawn to Dusk etc
Before their recent exposure on Pprune, I had never heard of either of these great excuses for flying. I just wondered if there were any others I should know about? The lists in Pilot magazine tend mostly to be fly-ins - I think I'm after something a little more esoteric. Any thoughts?

British Woman Pilots' Associaton - Chairwoman's Challenge.
Mini D2D where they give you a theme and you have to interpret it. For example, last year "Defence of the Realm", this year "Food and Drink". The flight is max. 120 min. Great introduction to D2D.
My flying group also runs an annual 'Secretary's Rally', open to anyone who wants to join in. Clues are given, from which you work out the route. Then you are given a set of photographs of places you should be able to identify from the air. There's also a spot landing competition at the end, and points given on planned time vs. actual time.

The Malta Air Rally sounds like a lot of fun and a good excuse for flying halfway across Europe. I don't know any details though - maybe try a search?
