Mums First Flight

After a while of promising it was mums turn to come up with me today - checked weather and looked ok so had planned to head down to Kilkenny, Mountrath and then back to Kilcock again. But given when we woke up this morning you could kinda tell the horizontal visibility wasn't going to be the greatest - decided we'd go up and have a look about at least and in the end chose to head up to Mullingar and back instead, largely because there was very little possibility of getting lost, somebody kindly built me a motorway (and a canal for that matter) to follow there and back! So again mr GPS came with and kept an eye out to see where we'd been and we took some pics along the way.

Mum seemed to enjoy it - she did get a little quiet as we got closer to the runway for take-off - but I get the feeling most people are gonna be like that - once up up and away things were fine!!
