Good Times

So you take a couple of weeks holidays and hope things will work out.

Well.. sometimes they do ☺☺☺

Had a lovely fly when hoped for but least expected.

It was blowing a NNW gale up till 2:30 pm, switched to a Southerly 21 to 26Kn

and by the time I got in to town it was blowing a perfect 13Kn SE at 4 pm.

No one else showed so I was in the air ASAP and flewwwwww. Dreamtime stuff.

Whilst walking back up to retrieve my car I met up with a young photographer, Andrew Doyle, who kindly sent me these photos.
