Spongy Brakes

After a about 10 miles of reasonably fast country road (twisty) driving I encountered a long downward hill (new by-pass. St Austell, Cornwall, UK, anyone know it?).
As I was braking down the hill (to keep within legal Speed limits)the brakes started making a rumbling noise, the brake pedal started to pulse, all went spongy and (the scary bit) braking efficiency decreased dramatically.
After a few minutes of normal driving on a level road everything returned to normal.
What the hell happened! This has occurred twice now - both times when the car was fully loaded (4 passengers).
The system fluid was replaced fairly recently, the pads are not new but have plenty of lining on them.
What could cause this?
