Arm in Arm

We had a morning cleaning Derwent6 before it got too hot to do anything. After sorting out the bikes we set off up the Wendover Arm and soon got to the gliding fields at RAF Halton. We sat and watched the gliders for about a hour with a bit of lunch. We then moved on up the Arm till we got to the basin. This will be a fantastic cruise when it is finally finished. We were going to go into Wendover but went the wrong way and ended up going to Aylesbury. After another five miles we got to the town centre. It is a nice town with a good atmosphere, it was market day and everyone was out enjoying themselves. We then found the Aylesbury Arm for our return journey. There appeared to be plenty of moorings in the basin. We carried on our way until we found the track back to Tring. When we got back we had our showers and then lit BBQ and watched the football. This guy did fly overhead to see what the scores were and also to see what we had on the Barbie..

Hope you are both keeping well.

Looks like you are in an absolutely beautiful part of the country there.

I had no idea the new budget measures would have such a devastating effect on the R.A.F's fighter squadrons!
