I had a suspision you would come back with that Bose-x (who i suspect is a DIR person)

I have also had the zip go in both a membrane with thinsulate and otter compressed. I obviously would have prefered the zip to do it's job. But was warmer with the otter. I proberly don't have the same quality of suits you use and a 300 quid otter compressed does the job way better than a cheap membrane and woolybear.

Each unto there own. Anyway I wouldn't bother wearing either of them.

Whats it with this channel crossing thing?

It seems to have developed into a elite sport for pilots.

****ty horizon and fly for 30 mins in a straight line with no visual ground reference you can recognise. Sounds like every nav ex I have done in the Vale of York.

Land at an airport with the ATCO having a funny accent and not speaking the same English as you. Again this can happen at most airports in Yorkshire and Lancashire .

The most difficult navigation exercise you will have flying into L2K is working out where the prick on the push bike wants you to park.
