Have fun
Thank you so much for this list @Colin. I’ve kept it bookmarked ever since, but never said thank you. I did go to Guernsey, but a year later without the family, and just went for a nice walk to the south. I see what you mean about ASG and the lounge. Hopefully we’ll try some of your recommendations soon.
Thank you those who made this today. Especially those from France who had to endure two customs stops!
The fog lifted just in time and never came back.
A great meet-up, with an unusually high percentage of ladies 
Actually wx looks amazing
Wx looks good for a change
We are flying to Guernsey on Friday for the weekend, however , to meet up with some friends that are over from Australia. Its funny, we meet them there a couple of years ago while on a little flying adventure, got on like a house on fire and stayed in touch ever since. You meet some nice people on the way flying.
Moved to Saturday 4th August
Capitulation has been deferred
Yes; a lot of wx passed through on Friday and early Saturday morning. This was the pic for much of the day on Saturday
At 5200ft, south coast UK:
Here’s a picture showing the sky just after I landed in Jersey on Thursday. Shortly thereafter, it poured down……
Guernsey weather turned out to be really nice (if windy) on the 28th, but by then all but one of the nine aircraft on the telegram group had either cancelled or dropped out (some days ahead) or just went silent, and the last guy could not do it because his base really did have pretty bad wx, so I didn’t go and did a local instead, doing one ILS and testing some interesting hardware… and flew back with 60kt headwind.
Backup dates usually don’t work and organising a mid-summer meet-up is hard anyway.
Alderney is a lovely place for a day or two. Never get tired of it Like the Scillys but different; we had 3 days there earlier in July. The UK has had two months of outstanding wx, not marred by the TSRAs which have been all over mainland Europe. Well, until today
