Monday at Cheltenham

0400 hrs and we are off to Cheltenham Racecourse for the first launch of the day.......Launched at 0700 in light winds heading SW......landed on the Gloucestshire Way on common land in a pile of nettles!!! Quick retrieval and back at base by 1015!

Pm flight.......Took off in very light Southerly wind at 1900, lovely evening........landed in a cut field 20 minutes south of Cheltenham, could not find landowner so had to nip on to the field, causing minimum disturbance, and leave everything as we found it. (Locals confirmed that landowner lived many miles away and they had no contact no.)
