Hi FB,
We had a great trip! Round the North coast of the island, just to enjoy the view (having decided not to get up early and go to Kemble instead. RT jitters from my French friends mostly....)
Then a nice trip over to Cherbourg, where we crossed to the West of the peninsula and flew along the coast at 500ft over the oyster beds to Mont St Michel. (The engine failure drill being slow down, flaps out, land on the sand!). Arrived in Dinard mid-afternoon, found the last place to stay (2 mobile homes on a campsite...
- could have been much worse), had a swim then walked into town for some oysters!
Today it was Dinard to Peyrelevade, a private strip in the massif central conveniently close to an excellent restaurant, then a very rough flight over the massif central dodging storms back to Lyon - where it is still 33C as I write this at 11pm.
11hrs flying in 3 days, and nice people all the way - and sorry for taking this thread off at a tangent!
