back at Sandown and ready for departure
over Bath
landed at Garston farm airstrip near Bath
still a full working farm with 775m runway !
Our "romantic" bedroom in Bath - We had lots of troubles to find a sleeping place at Bath.. by chance just this weekend it was Bath marathon..
at "the walrus and the carpenter" restaurant..
crowded, noisy but good food
early morning: waiting for our english breakfast in style
not very convincing weather forecast - poor visiblity, wet and very cold : too early in the year
an english school ?
near Brighton
reaching the coastline again
really time to fly home..
refueling at Lydd and having bitter cold
back at Ostend in bright sunshine..
