Thanks for the kind words guys,

The route was from Circus-Panorama-Baragwanath-GAV-Wingfield-FAVV-Circus.

Weather was just about perfect, except for a large dark cloud lurking just north of Bara, Seems like the wind followed me everywhere until back from the Vaal, took forever to get back, just short of 2 hours up there, all of it great. Shared some airspace at FAVV with an Airlink trainer 8)
routed around Iscor VDB, man that is a big place, used to work for one of their competitors, our place wasn't that big!

In short, sheer magic, can't wait to do it more often vhpy

No cooler in the back 3wheels but plenty got put away in the arvie :lol: , did you rig CYV yesterday?

Thanks Tracer, hope you are enjoying the training.

Must say, was a touch nervous before take off but once up and i started to work on the map the nerves just disappeared 8) best 2 hours ever!

3wheels, we must get the Russ baron to fill the fridge, can't wait to see your trike in the air, definetly worth celebrating :wink:
