As agreed Sunday, Thursday so today we spent the day at Le Touquet. I must be valid for my hours late so instead of turning the corner as far away from.
Sunrise 7am for a departure at 10:30. Navigation is prepared for Tuesday night, everything is ready. 9:30 arrival to the field. Not a cat. I open the hangar, the aircraft refueling, oil is good (he released 100h). I the leave at half to let in the shade and ventilate the cabin

Weather is printed NOTAM and AIP Sup. Everything is correct. Missing is the instructor.
We finally took off around 11am. I planned a 2 hour flight. The winds are favorable (25kt to 5000ft). So we go back to rowing.
The journey is non-stop. We begin to 3000ft to finish at 045. One survey of many landscapes: the Lorraine, Meuse, Champagne-Ardenne, then the sum, Picardy.
At the radio, the departure is made with Ochey App and Tin, and then Cambrai APP, until almost came to Le Touquet. Then we moved to Lille App, ending with TWR Touquet.
