Monday 18th June

Awoke this morning to the sound of tents flapping in the strong winds. No breakfast here so when everyone was ready we headed out across the Firth of Forth. Crossing at about 4000' in a gap between the clouds was pleasant though there was a cross wind of about 20mph. Adrian Jones and I opted to go to East Fortune near North Berwick for fuel. Presently sitting in the local garden centre after a breakfast/lunch of haggis in a baguette with salad and crisps. Heading further south next to avoid the windier part of the U.K. Before leaving we went round the Scottish Aviation museum where they have a comet, Vulcan and Concorde as well as numerous other aircraft. Departed for Kingsmuir airfield, just north of the Firth of Forth. A great little strip with fine clubhouse. We even managed to get a wood fire going in the hearth. No tea tonight though, so I was glad of the large breakfast that I had for lunch.
