I've finally got my QXC out of the way!!!
The weather on Sat was gorgeous and after a few circuits with the CFI ( I hadn't flown for 2 months
) I was off to Bristol. Arrived there with no issues, then off to Exeter. Had trouble leaving Exeter as the during the engine power checks the righthand magnito was failing - cue 5 minutes taxiing back to the parking wondering how the hell I was going to get home. Thankfully I managed to clear it in the engine run up area and after much checking and re-check I was back on my way to Southampton.
All in all a great day but not one I would rush to repeat in the near future!
