Well I had to go ,the wealth was half descent and I had a free day so up I went to the Mach loop to do some low lever photography, . It all started off badly as I was making my way up the hill two jest few over my head ,also as this is the first time for about 12 months I was huffing and puffing , thinking that the hill has grown, but when I was in postction the rain came but that cleared and the one plain I wanted came around the comer the A Jet. So all wells that ends well.
