Greetings from the Isle of Wight
« on: 09 July 2008, 10:44:33 »
Morning and greetings from a wet campsite!

Dragged the pikey wagon down yesterday and was very impressed. Admittedly it was mostly motorway/dual carriageway but averaged 18.5mpg on the journey, cruising at around 58 mph over undulating terrain!

Biggest result is that i've got a 3g signal on the site so i can still surf a little! ::) ::) :y :y

Hope you're managing to have a good time but my sympathy goes out to anyone trying to take a holiday in the UK these days. We just don't get proper summers anymore. :'( Global warming......my a*se!! :-?

I went to Vesta @ Newport last week for only 2 pallets. Vesta must've wanted 'em badly. Told a return trip in an artic is £600 plus the rate on the Red Funnel Ferry. Was sailing back to Southampton within 2 hrs.
    Glad i'm paid hourly!!!!!!! :D

When I had the money and was doing my ppl one of the navigation training routes i had to do was to the Isle of Wight. I drove my instructor mad because we were supposed to be flying on times, not landmarks but I knew the area so well that even when he took the chart away I could still tell him exactly where we were! ::) :y

I must confess that he wasn't too happy when he suggested we flew to Filton next time and I said ok, that's the one with motorway on 3 sides!

Suffice to say, he was struggling to work out another route but I had to stop flying. >:( :'( :'(

Once did a nav exercise up to Swindon and back in a rather underpowered motor glider (think VW beetle engine) with a strong headwind which was similar.

"Where are we now?"
"Umm. There's Membury, There's Didcot, there's the M4, There's Swindon"
...
"Where are we now?"
"Umm. There's Membury, There's Didcot, there's the M4, There's Swindon"
...
"Do you still know where we are?"
" ::)"

Things happened a lot quicker on the way back but because I'd spent about an hour and a half studying landmarks on the outward leg it was hardly challenging!
