Friday 3 July

19:45
Well, here we are, on the North coast of France in Dieppe in lovely evening sunshine down at the harbour for one more lovely meal before getting back home to the Corn Flakes tomorrow.

As we travelled North the clouds thickened and we thought the weather had changed but by the time we had arrived at Le Mans it had all cleared with amazing visibility for our flight to Dieppe.

It is cooler here and there's nothing wrong with that. Now for the meal ... !

12:35
Currently at 1800ft crossing the wheat basin of France. It would be very difficult to navigate without GPS! 78 miles to run to La Fleche - an airfield I visited almost 4 years ago in my flexwing. This flight started in heavy cloud but that has now gone and is replaced with small puffs of cloud and some higher stratus. The battery has run flat in my headset so with no compression they are very noisy when plugged in to the intercom and radio; so I have unplugged them and they are now doing the job of an indifferent set of earmuffs! As the day warms up, the thermal activity is increasing and as we are buffeted around Mike has more to do to keep us straight and level. Nothing for me to do. I'm enjoying being a passenger - albeit one who has a chart on his lap!


10:59
Laurie & June, Rick, Kevin & Sheila leave shortly for Meaux, Calais and home. Steve & Karen, Tom, Mike & Mike are flying to La Fleche and taking it from there.


Forecast is 'changeable' so we'll see
