I had my first go on an electric mountain bike today. Quite different to the 18 year old 26" hardtail I'm riding at the moment. I'm not sure if convinced about e-bikes for forest trails to be honest. It seemed very heavy! But cool tech, nice uphill, but I think I'll stick with "man power"

Another 10 miles of The Essex Way completed this weekend, from Salts Green to Great Waltham. Lovely (very flat!) countryside and equally as good weather.

Out for a walk in the Essex countryside and thus beauty flew overhead at 3500ft. I do miss seeing the "jumbo jet"

Another training walk ahead of the Camino de Santiago later in the later. Thid time with the brother. We walked the West and East sections of the Colchester Orbital, just over 12 miles in total today.

Started walking The Essex Way this weekend. First leg completed, 8 miles from Epping to Chipping Ongar. We will do another section next weekend, hope to complete the 82 miles over the next couple of months.

Another day of decent weather, although a bit windy. Managed to get out in the plane for the third time this week. I'm making up for 3 months on the ground!

Snow has started falling in east of England now, so no doubt everything will grind to a halt in the morning 🤣

A lot of frost to clear off the plane, but otherwise an awesome day for flying before all the crappy weather hits the UK (again!)

Finally, some decent weather, so I managed to get a final flight in for 2024. It was a little windy, managed a ground speed of 24kts at one point 🤣
Flying plans for 2025.... get checked out on another aircraft type and add some new airfields to the logbook.

I'd love to hear something that isn't related to AI or Copilot!
The copilots will continue until morale improves

East of England (near Stowmarket i think) about 7000ft. That was a really enjoyable local flight.
