Learning to Fly Part IV
Cambrian Flying Club had been planning a fly out to France on the 18 and 19th of July. We were all geared up for it, but because of the weather we had to cancel the flight to France, and plan “B” was implemented; a flight to Galway on the West coast of Ireland.{mosimage}
Next morning we took off from Pembrey, stopped at Haverford West for fuel and breakfast before setting off across the Irish Sea.
This was my first private flight out of the country and across water. We cruised at 3500ft most of the way over the beautiful green countryside en-route to Galway, touching down just in time for lunch, at a very nice hostelry in the city centre.
After a look around I went to visit some friends who lived nearby that I hadn’t seen for many years, whilst my club mates enjoyed the local hospitality and entertainment on offer in the lovely City of Galway. Next morning after a city tour we took off for Innis Mor, an island off the Coast. We had a beautiful scenic tour around the 3 islands before landing, followed by lunch in the only local pub we could find.
