South Wales

Spent Good Friday in Monmouthshire....early morning launch from Monmouth in warm sun with a gentle breeze to the west. A hearty breakfast followed and then a drive up to Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains for R & R before a decision on the even flight. Whilst my fellow avaitors slept off their 99 cones, I climbed to the summit of the Bluff in hot sunshine and sandals!.....the evening flight was called off at the last due to thunder forecast.....so we parked the rig at a friends property and bused back over the bridge for some sleep before the Raglan flight the next morning. Up at 0330 on Saturday morning....whizzed back to Raglan for a great flight and another breakfast before heading back home to prepare for the evening flight from Kemble Airfield.........Flight cancelled on site.... mainly due to thunder clap interupting the safety brief!!!
