I took my first passenger to see his realatives not far from Durham. Half way over the pennines (coming from the isle of man) i got sick and had to puke my guts up. I had to give my PAX a split second lesson on straight and level flight. The only available recepticle for pukeing was my headset bag!!
The return journey was even worse. Halfway over the pennines again I caught in a blizzard. I was at 2000 feet just skimming the freezining level. I could not go any lower as the peaks were higher than me. I decided to do a 180 and head for Duhram, at which point the snow was so bad i could not see the prop. My next decision was climb, bad choice as i had to go through the freezing level. But i thought that would be better than fly zero vis in the pennines. I never actualy managed to get above the snow storm. Then the next incident occured....my VOR failed. i was tracking that to Durahm. I then asked Durham to vector me..they refused to because i was not in their airspace. They told me to try Teeside. Teeside were great and offered me vectors immidaitley and asked if i needed help. Being that I only had 52.5 hours at the time I was a little sweaty to say the least. The hard part was to land, the vis was starting to get a bit better but only about 1k if that. Teeside vectored me right on to the runway. I was visual with the threshold at 460ft.
The hardest thing of all was trusting the instruments and not what my body was sensing.
