Continuing my trip. Along the cliff tops. It's a tad bumpy here.


Turning back inland. That town must be Eastbourne. Hastings & Dover in the distance.


I think that's Firle Beacon. It used to be the home of the Southdown Gliding Club. They launched gliders from the hill with a bungee in the early days. Lots of activity round here now with hang-gliders & paragliders. We spotted one just below the clouds, much higher than us. I took a shot but it's just a tiny speck.



Heading for home. There's the airstrip dead ahead.





What a nice surprise that was. Thanks very much Gordon.

A great start to a most enjoyable day out. I spotted some R/C modellers on the airstrip & spent the rest of the day with them. More old friends. Wish I'd brought sandwiches & a drink. I only expected be be away for a couple of hours when I left home. Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Funny Doug? More like luckier than a lottery winner
Nice one, glad to see you had such a nice day

great photos Doug:)
Did you get a go at the controls at all?

What can I say.....I know exactly how you feel Doug...thanks for sharing it with us......

I love those approach shots as they make believers of those who have never had the opportunity to see a landing from that vantage point.  ;D

Thanks chaps.

No Craig. I'm not too fussed about that these days. I was too busy with my camera & content just to be up there in that delightful little plane.

Well, I spent my day killing my kneecaps and antifouling a boat. I'm still covered in red paint.

It's alright for some I suppose...

you lucky son of a gun  ;)
i wish my days turned out like that.

Very beautiful landscape Doug. Thanks again!

Dave

Again Very Very Nice Doug

What a whale of a day and what some great friends u have Hagar. Neat.
