of altitude.
Imagine it would have been pretty warm out there of late!

I was lucky Gary, it was a pleasant 27°C but the wind was howling.
When they come in to land you see the airspeed just hovering over
the stall speed and start to panic, but when you're down you realise
just what the wind adds to the safety margin.
The Gammons look so beautiful and rugged in the early morning light.
One day we, as a family, will get up there to explore them I hope.
