| Flight details: | Very unexpected. Went to base and realized how far we'd drifted so thought hey why not. Very scratchy for first few km. Few low saves (Sorry JohnT didn't make it, it was cool scratching together) Then after a while realized I was bloody far away and have to get to work at 6pm so landed in the middle of nowhere. For the first time ever someone who saw me land gave me a lift!! How cool. Took me go Staplehurst then train to glynde. Easy peasy could have easily flown 200km today. Sky looks epic |
