Well, Dave and I had booked to fly today, and the new GNS430 needed "testing". We decided that much as we love Calais (one landing fee, and do all the ILS approaches you want), we should go somewhere different for a change.

So pooling all our boldness, we filed for Le Touquet. The lunch was excellent, and we had a good yak with some other pilots who just happened to be there, followed by a most delightful flight back. Stocked up on fish soup (delicious!) and good claret (more delicious) and reckon it was a day well spent.

Next week we might get *really* adventurous and go to Abbeville! Or we might stick a pin in the chart and go to the nearest airfield to the pin.
