Free seat Elstree to Devon/Wales on Wednesday

On Wednesday 7th September, if the weather is decent, I'm flying from Elstree to the west coast (Exmoor, Cardiff, Pembroke etc.) to follow the progress of a friend on a boat. Anybody interested in coming along for the ride is welcome to get in touch. No costs other than perhaps a cup of tea somewhere. Probably leave Elstree around 11 and be back early evening.

Work will not let me have the day off and most of my family have died over the last couple of years so I can't go, would have loved it.

What will you be flying in?

I've had two interested parties. We'll be in a Cessna 182, so we'll still be comfortable with full fuel. Both are pilots too, which means I won't have to do all the flying.

The boat is on a charity trip around the British Isles in 6 days, doing an average of 8 to 10 hours a day, not including stops. Apparently it can make 40knots in reasonable conditions. It's a shame it won't do 65 because then we could just fly along above it! If the weather is good it should be a fun day out.

Drauk - a headwind of 25 knots should do the trick

We found them!

The trip was pushed back a little so we ended up finding them just south of Bournemouth.

Click for a couple more...
