15:05 Looking East from above Gladestry from Jodel G-BHXD, based at Lane Farm. (That's Hergest ridge above Kington on the right of the picture; the fourth lump along is about where Shobdon is.) We live in Talgarth and were socked in all day. But we drove to Brecon where there was bright sunshine and clear skies, so we went to the airfield to find the fog had cleared from here at about 13:30. We were airborne at 15:00 and down at 15:45 - thus airborne for the 100 years to the second. |

15:28 Looking South from above Glasbury towards the Black Mountains. This was one of the most spectacular flights of the year. It looked as though the polar ice-caps had nelted and the Wye valley was some sort of Inland Sea with the Begwyns and Clyro Hill as an Island.

15:37 GMT Looking North towards New Radnor. Just to the left of this picture the fog was being blown into the Painscastle valley where our airfield is located, so we kept a careful eye out to make sure we wouldn't be fogged in on our return. Curiously, there was nil wind on the ground but up here at 2,500' there was a SouthWesterly at 25knts.
