| Flight details: | I wasn't entirely convinced by the forecast, but seeing as the Dyke bus had started I figured I could flop to Brighton for an ice cream and an easy retrieve. After eventually climbing out and persuading myself that the clouds didn't look too scary, I got carried away and followed the SBF until i dropped through it to an ice creamless field in the middle of nowhere. |
