Well, made it to Manston.

A bit of a chilly day, I knew I should have put on an extra pair of long johns and taken a bigger flask.

Here are a few thumbnails of pics taken along the way;

Passing Sutton Bank Gliding Club.
I'm sure there used to be a white horse!
Getting new map at Wattisham.
Complaints about parking spaces!
Coasting out at Southend.
All quiet now the seasons over.
Up the Thames Estuary & QE bridge.
Traffic jams like you've never seen.
Passing the 'Eye' & Parliament.
Hopefully not disturbing PMQs.
Recce to land for afternoon tea @ Buck House.
Strange....no flag !!

For more and larger pics, they are on the site at

Early start tomorrow, must get to bed early after completing the planning.

With a fair wind, I should be under canvas this time tomorrow at Lands End.
