My second trip to France, this time with a friend from the Cessna Group I'm in. Unfortunately we couldn't use our own aircraft as it was seriously damaged in a Birdstrike incident a couple of weeks previous.

I love flying along coastlines and this flight down the coast of Britanny is one of my favourites

A thoroughly enjoyable flying experience. Nearly everyone we met in France was polite and helpful. Looking forward to my next trip.

Great pics. Cycled past Josselin castle 1978 ish.

Cycling for me was a painful endurance test, not a holiday! I learned my lesson and thereafter have relied on the internal combustion engine for holiday transport.

Hey, a friend of mine has a place not far from there.

I flew over him and waved on my way back from Quiberon to Cherbourg the other day!
