It's Wednesday 9th July and after some false starts (aka the French Air Traffic Controllers strike) my Gumball is under way at last! Some Gumballers managed to beat the strike and had set off north on Saturday, so we had some catching up to do! Days 2, 3 & 4 dropping soon!

It's Friday 8th September 2025 and what turned out to be my last XC day of the year (most likely!), but it was a great way to end what's been a fabulous year's flying. Unfortunately I left it too late to make the jump north to avoid the 3500ft airspace around Luton Airport, which made things very difficult once I got to Aylesbury, but grab a beer or coffee and join me on a beautiful three hour flight from Milk Hill in Wiltshire to near Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire...
