I do sometimes fly at other heights yer know. It depends on the wind and the weather and who I am with. For example, today I flew with an ex-Wagon Dragon* who could never be air-sick and loves the view, so we flew up to Humberside at 2200' (enough to be above the ATZs en route) in the bumps but able to see the ground. If my gorgeous, dusky, pouting wife had been with me I would have gone to FL70 to get above the turbulent cloud to the silky smoothness above. Across the North Sea in a strong head wind I rarely exceed 250-300', to try and mitigate the wind, but then I have to steer around boats; it's all a compromise.
PS why du keep ignoring my ICQ massages?!?

Thank you, yes, I have hired a car from them before when I was going to Aberystwyth and Aberporth was fogged out, but I wonder if they would be very happy to see me at 6.00 pm on a Sunday.
I notice that you, too, spell the village name with a double C, despite Keef's wonderful etymological efforts (he speaks jolly good German as well, and probably tongues if we but knew). I wonder if there are two alternative spellings. It would be jolly useful if you could acquire the helo between now and the weekend after next!!
Thank you all - it's Welshpool and Taxi, and then all into AC-DC's cottage for tea and buns, by the sound of it
