No pictures, but some memories:

Jim saw us off, but did not come himself. So after fuelling the aircraft, he set off home! Thanks, Jim.

I flew Xray-Kilo (C172) to Seething with Lee. Lot's of cloud on the way up and we had to keep just below it to maintain an adequate height. At one point we spied a microlight above us! He (she) was flying along in a gap and at the same pace as the surrounding cloud. Bizarre!

Landed at Seething and sat and waited for the others. We were first away, and they only had the moped of the skies (C152) to carry them. When we were all there, the Seething cafe started giving away food! I love this place!

Anyway, off to Beccles. Beccles' runway is half grass and half Tarmac. I managed to land right on the start of the Tarmac and so avoided the big bump between the two. Tea at Beccles and mind the dog, it bites.

Lee takes over for the trip to Earls Colne. Pretty much uneventful except that the landing is in to the low lying sun and Lee can see nothing. The intended approach for the hard runway becomes a landing on the parallel grass runway, but otherwise is fine!

More tea, and what's this? A pre-circus Shane mozying around.

Earls Colne switch the runway direction, which means we need to be briefed on the departure route to avoid annoying the neighbours. Then into the aircraft. Now, Jim had said it would be a good idea to land at Earls Colne so that we are familiar with it in case we ever needed to make an emergency diversion. We are doing power checks and A/G calls us back. Andrewsfield is closed as the runway is blocked (no-one hurt). Prophetic, Jim.

So we park the aircraft and wait, and discuss who has night ratings. Greg turns up in another 152. He was doing solo circuit training and now has a diversion to add to his accomplishments. It soon becomes apparent that we are not flying back and Adam and friends drive over to collect us.

Plenty to talk about.
