Awesome post J.A.F.O.
Mimics my experiences totally.
The best time you have is summer evenings - a breath of wind, buzzin' around at 500' dropping into grass strips with an average length of 350 metres, seeing some friends - everyone loves to see a cub and have a trip if possible.
When I was living in east anglia I did 6 strips in one hour, one evening - just awesome and ended the evening with my mates for a pint in the Gamekeeper at Old Buckenham village (they had 30 mins each as Pax).
Just the best - happy times.
Lister - you lucky chap
