Day: March 1, 2012

The other evening I was talking about my planned route down to Plazac with Bob and he suggested that I might want to think about adding Dave and Amanda Lord’s Wanafly France as a possible waypoint. When I checked I actually found that Wanafly is almost slap bang on my route between Blois and Limoges so it could be a distinct possibility.

Given that it’s about 3/4 of the way down and that I’ll be flying in MYRO which is not the fastest aircraft for international touring by any means (that’s an understatement!), it could well be that that’s as far as I’d be able to make in a day, either because of failing daylight at this time of year, or just through sheer tiredness. And at Wanafly I’d be able to get a nice bed for the night, a terrific meal I’m led to believe and fuel, so it sounds like a good idea to have the option available.

So I’ve amended my route pic in my previous post to include Wanafly and I’ve also added a little jink to the south of it to make sure I stay clear of Limoges controlled airspace. I also noticed that on my way to Dover, I will pass directly over Clipgate Farm near Canterbury which is the farm strip where I did my microlight training with Rosie right back at the beginning. It seems really appropriate in a way that I will be flying over where I first flew MYRO all that time ago for what could be it’s final flight in UK airspace, back to France where it originally came from.

So it’s all getting more exciting by the day and I just know that it’ll be an amazing flight 😀
