Two years ago I took a nearly new R22 up to 6000 Ft, not far from the lake District in the UK, the view was stunning and very different from all those training flights,most of the clouds were in the wrong place, and it had a very "erie" (spelling) feeling about it, and funny thing is it seemed much quieter, after a long gentle descent I felt much more at home around the 2000/1500ft area, not been there since!!
