Another an excellent ride, thanks to Oliver for organising and to Owen and Bryce for making sure no-one was left behind. The pace was decent considering the mix of abilities and the company was good.
It was a shame about the stupid way we were handled at Gatwick, I suspect that everything they did was technically correct and within procedural guidelines but they just seemed to be using their powers to cause us maximum inconvenience. It was impossible to reason with them as only the drones that would engage with us, they were being subtly directed by a senior who clearly didn't have the nerve, decency or perhaps just lacked the ability to justify his decisions directly to us.
Particular highlight for me was flying down Lonesome Lane, such a beautiful road it feels as if you're floating just above the road surface, it's so good it's almost effortless.
Oh, tearing down into Brighton spinning faster than is strictly sensible given the level of sleep deprivation I suddenly realised I had the biggest, stupidest grin on my face, must have looked like a total twat, but that summed it all up for me.
