I am thinking about it… anybody fancies meeting up for lunch?
We could have an early start and make it a “TKS-only fly-in”

Not a bad day for a lunch and a swim 
FL080:
Interesting to see ISA-9 – very rare
Visual approach and a circle to land, but the inbound was pretty well on the ILS LOC+GS
Final:
Not many others there, despite the perfect wx
The beach, of course
With 20kt wind, the sand got everywhere
On departure, there were a few more
Very smooth at FL080 on the way back, despite the wind low down
Beachy Head from FL080
Back home
A perfect “high value” day trip
Down here in Bavaria the ceiling was 1000 ft all day and the visibility only two miles … I didn’t even try. Have not seen a blue sky for two weeks again …
Peter,
for a change, you really ought to try Deauville (plus Trouville annd Honfleur). A little more expensive taxi ride, but otherwise so much nicer.
I’ve been there a few times, too…
It’s different and there is more to do there (opinions will vary on the €50 taxi cost) but I like the nice walk through/along the woods at LTQ. Also at this time of the year there is less time (daylight) to play with.
