Hour Build Day 1

Went Flying today - first time on my own - and with my own licence. So was all planned for a simple trip out from kilkock up to kells then over to castlepollard, down past mullingar to kilbeggin and then back over to enfield and kilcock again. Now i wont say it went perfectly wasnt really on my heading on the way up to kells and it sort of messed me up and resulted in me being "temporarily uncertain of my position" but after a little time i noticed one of the big lakes in the distance and figured out which way to head from it - after that the whole flight went pretty perfect with regard to headings and timings, so the thing i learnt from the day was to trust the headings i'd worked out and most importantly fly them. I did have to duck below a few spots of cloud along the way home but still enough room to squeeze through. The final bit of excitment came as i caught up with a nice big rain cloud on the way back to the airfield from kilcock. Vis got less and less and the rain got heavier and heavier but could still see the airfield and hence direction to go, so i lit up all my lights to be seen and headed on in through it to touch down ahead of the shower. Theres a picture below of my chariot of the day (an english reg for the clever ones of you) and i have a few others enroute on another puter that i'll try upload 2mo. Good to be back up tho - so hopefully were flying now 1:32 down nother 68 odd to go methinks!!
