OK, I've now got a 'plane booked for FFF, smurph and me that weekend!
Whirly, if you're flying in, maybe you and smurph should get in touch about that trial lesson?
Hoping the weather's OK!

Sorry Welshflyer, I wasn't being cheeky there!
Was referring to Penguina Fuel (normally nice ale!) in my reply to Saab Dastard as opposed to C172 Fuel, but free ladning fees won't be turned down!
Looking forward to it (and the miraculous weather we're going to have of course!).

I know, I was using that Welsh trick of dry humor
But there should be a considerable amount of "Penguina Fuel" there. (but if you can manage 70 litres, my hat's off to you - hey go for it!)

Just popped into Barton to check our booking diary. Chippy's booked up on 11th, but free all day on 12th - so I've nabbed it!
Weather and stuff permitting, I'll be there (maybe with another group member) on the Sunday, probably arriving around mid morning.
Cheers

Weather - I'll be in the wilds of rural Hungary, so the folks over there can expect "tempest storm and wind" and maybe earthquake too - standard Keef holiday weather (the boss loves to tease).
Whether that weather will spread as far as North Wales, I can't tell. Last time I flew from C'fon, it was 100nm vis, CAVOK, and fabulous.
Is CAE back in operation, or is it still TST?

I might not be able to make this one now. The reason I was going up that way was to pick up a load of drum equipment but these will not be ready for a few weeks more now. 
I don't know what to do now as its a bit too far from down here on the coast.
