Our 06h30 take -off was delayed due to mist till 09h30. Slightly bouncy trip with several faster blik overflying above the clouds.

The best ATC I have encountered. Extremely efficient and welcoming. Voksrust flying Club made a huge effort for a fantastic day.Welcomed by 3 gorgous poppies after being ushered to the VIP. tent for a Southern Sun Breakfast. I hope they make lots of bucks because they rent from the council and maintain their faqcilties themselves.

The serious crosswind and early cloud probably accounted for me being the only trike there so I was reluctant to to shuttle the parachutists but the display was very entertaining. Left in the afternoon just as the pub started getting festive. I'm sure lots are still getting their money's worth. A nice jol.

Thanks Tumbleweed for the offer to drop us - understood the Xwind thing would have been a little exciting... but we'll catch up somewhere and do it then. Thanks to all at Volksrust for the fine weekend and hospitality.

Will be back next time for sure - some pics on AvCom
