For the first time in the trip, this next leg to gloucester is all in a northerly direction

Can't be beaten there by my own aircraft shadow, that would be embarrassing!!!

took a detour to Lundy island, a tiny island with less that 100 inhabitants in the middle of the severn estuary. By landing there i will be one of the first people to visit the island since it was sealed off by environmental health due a bug going round it

I thought this was a nice angle to a shot, beached my plane up on the lundy coastline, but i intended to do, unlike mr hamilton!!!

Finally, almost there, seconds from putting the wheels to the tarmac, such a nice feeling to have made so much progress

finally, parked up, the local GA cohort around me

Cheers, and sorry about the amount of links, but i wanted to reduce the amount of topics i needed to create, so links will do!!

FSNovice - tired and now bored, school next week, oh the joy!!!
