Saturday morning, 12 hours since failed launch.........and its all systems a go!
Launched in light winds and headed south over Bath with fantastic views across the Bristol Channel as far as the Brecon Beacons!
Landing site was bit hard to find, but after 1hr 20 mins landed in a sloping field bit near to a stable block. However the owners were fine providing the vehicles did not make too much noise passing though the yard! Bit of trouble getting out of the field, trying to keep the revs low so as not to spook the horses, and trying to keep momentum to get the 3 ton trailer over the rise!.....Horses are funny things.....did not spook them at all when I reversed the bus through the yard with the warning beeper going BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!.........BACK TO BATH LATER FOR THE SECOND LAUNCH OF THE DAY(WEATHER PERMITTING)........
