| Flight details: | I found it a bit difficult to get up and stay up for the first hour and a half but after that managed to stay higher for most of the time, with a (what seemed like a) lowish save (but probably wasn't so low) along the way near the A23. Never managed to get to cloudbase. Drifted towards Kingston. Thumbed a lift back to the Dyke. |
