Wagga Watts takes the Bopeep

This thread is up to '355 reads' as I type, one of the most popular and having spoken to people on the hill there are a lot of us that would love to know more about the flight ie, the route, how he managed the airspace problems etc. Can someone who knows Mark extract as much info as possible from him and post it, a tracklog would be great but a narrative would be just as good. It's probably just a short hop in Mark's terms but inspirational to a lot of club members. Please can somebody help us out with this?
Thanks

Hi Tefal

Have you managed to extract any of the details from him yet? I'm sure that it would make inspirational reading if you (or somebody else) could post a diary entry. 244 reads so far makes it THE hot topic and that's without any detail. Just imagine the interest if we could read about his thoughts on this epic flight.

Cheers
