It’s not necessarily anything other than an attempt to avoid bad weather.
Eventually the adverse conditions got too severe.
Channel Islands weather report says freezing was present in the area at 3,000-4,000ft. The pilot descended twice with permission, so could have been experiencing some icing problems. No mayday call is consistent with a sudden uncontrolled landing.
