Went to Le Touquet today for lunch, soup, and wine. Groundspeed 109 knots all the way there, over 150 knots most of the way back. Glorious CAVOK some of the way, but some STSC over the channel.
Stuff at Southend doing IFR approaches (in IMC) when we got back! We remained VMC and were neatly sequenced into the flow by Approach.
Brilliant day out!
