After 750km of tough and mixed weather conditions, we have reached our next major hurdle!  Dover.  Looking out over a big piece of water again.  We are now good to go for the English Channel.  Flight plan logged. Customs cleared. French airfield given advance warning.  
Weather looking good for morning.

We have had everything thrown at us with weather and flown in conditions I have not flown in before! I have a combination of wing and motor now that make easy and safe going of these challenging conditions. With a slight tailwind (max 10-12mph) I was able to maintain 60-75kph over ground for a lot of today, hovering about cloud base at about 1500-2000ft.

Good flying conditions at reasonable height.
