Aunty Olga came to fly

Had a plane booked on wednesday, and in the end decided to take my mum up again with the hope she mite get to see more then she did the last time. Also took Aunty Olga with us because she had mentioned how keen she was to come too - so plan was to head up towards Dundalk before turning back towards Drogheda along the coast, but of course the weather wasnt quite gonna let us play so nicely. Got as far up as Navan in decreasing hoz viz but found a low layer of cloud ahead of us towards Dundalk. Had a look at snipping in below the cloud but it was down to nearly 1000ft and with some parts of High ground ahead. So in the end turned back to Navan on down to Trim and then South West towards Kinnegad before turning back to the airfield. 

So clearly mum is a bit of a bad omen as far as visability is concerned, but at least we all got up for an hour and sounds like both enjoyed it

Next passengers are the guys from school hopefully - tho gotta go do my exams first!!

Church Stretton

Been in Engerland for the last week, and while over here decided to take the opportunity to fly people around. So today myself kieran, and gavin headed up from filton to go fly by kieran's house in Church Stretton. Lifes a bit different flying over here, new aircraft type, new airfield, new chart. But it all went pretty well was on track most of the way around and maybe a little faster then planned.

First stop was Clun a small village which one of kierans friends, Martha lives, circled round it once or twice with us waving down to them and vice versa, then on up to church stretton and 2 passes with kieran loving the fact that he could see all the bits he knew so well. After that back towards filton via Great Malvern, landing under the watchful eyes of concorde

Lots of fun, and hoping for decent weather on monday
