I can’t stop planning another trip. I’ve already mapped it out and just going to start working on fine tuning it. Problem is, it will take some time. So, here’s the plan: across France (that huge chunk of a country) but heading more west than my recent south-west route. Going to slip through Switzerland, Austria…

Going Home, Part One
If you’ve read the most recent updates you will know that our planned date of arrival back in Jersey was Friday 28th August but that was scuppered by weather in Germany (and a tiny patch of weather at that). Still, it was the first time that the weather has stopped us flying throughout the whole…
Jersey Soil….
When we arrived at Mainz Airport this morning at about 0845 local time the air traffic controller, Martin, was outside on the car parking area beside the tower talking to the German Border Police who had come to greet us. We were slightly late at arriving at the airport; no doubt that didn’t go down…

Prague Buskers
Every city has them and every tourist city has hundreds of them: buskers. When I studied in London I used to travel on the tube to university on the district line…there were a couple of guys who used to play and sing on the line from time to time and they were excellent. Prague has some…
Prague: Day 2
Prague is a bustling town with all the main sites in very close proximity to each other. Provided you don’t act like the total idiot tourist, the place is very safe, honest, charming and inexpensive. Again, people are generally very happy and friendly.

Leg 6: Salerno (LIRI) to Dubrovnik (LDDU)
This is relatively short leg of 200 miles, 50% over land, 50% over the Adriatic Sea. From Salerno Airport the track is ENE on magnetic 060° across the Campania and Puglia regions of Italy crossing some medium sized terrain, the highest spot under my track being 4,600′.
Leg 5: Elba (LIRJ) – along Italian west coast to Salerno (LIRI)
On this trip there are two routes which have been designed to take in coastal scenery. This leg from Elba to Salerno and the leg from Dubrovnik to Vienna. Both of them should have beautiful views. This leg along the West (Tuscan) coast of Italy is 258 miles over the Tyrrhenian Sea. After departure from…
