I finally got airborne for a nimble round the South East on Saturday afternoon. Beautiful weather, keeping an extra good lookout as I knew it would be very busy, and I was on my own.
Rounding Beachy Head, I reflected on the number of people out walking along the cliff edge, glanced down and spotted my shadow on the waves. Aah .... nice.
Then I realised the shadow was pointing the wrong way.
Fortunately I was at 1500 feet and the opposite direction traffic was at least 1000 feet immediately below. Still scary ...
Lookout lookout lookout.

Back in the air in my own aircraft at last ...
