| Flight details: | Can't remember much of this flight - I've only just been reunited with my GPS. Took off at the Dyke in a lull, and went up with Johnny Fox, to about 2,000 feet above take off. Left him below me, and glided to the new football stadium, where I got a corker out of the new practice field - 6/5 up and rough with it. That took me to 3400 ATO, and a glide towards Firle, where the clouds suddenly were drifting from the WSW. Damn! the sea breeze got me again. |
