0530 start to get to the eastern edge of the Black Mountains for an 0730 meet with the passengers........beautiful morning, cool but hardly a cloud in the sky.....unlike the day before which had welcomed heavy rain........and caused the landrover and trailer to bog down as we entered the launch field!!!.......thank goodness for the generosity of Jonathan the field owner with his tractor!!! A text book launch in a South Easterly direction......closely followed by getting the minibus bogged down!!.......landrover able to rescue it. The flight covered approx 17 miles back across the border to England, just north of Ross-on-Wye in a fairly dry field apart from the dung which had been recently spread exactly where the pilot landed, the other 2/3rds of the field being untouched!!!!....end result...happy passengers and very smelly crew...hey ho!!!!
