The A12 approach to the Blackwall Tunnel was not accessible at Hackney Wick this morning so it was back doubles to Crisp Street and the A13 before we could get back on our usual route. Not as bad as this time last year for getting to Blackheath, of course!

More south than south westerly today and mostly brisk again so standard vented and green race seemed about right. We were distracted by an incident on the A2 but did manage some interesting silent free flying. Some further serious snagging moments today but no actual damage.

Jacob made a brief appearance on the heath today after his last night’s 50^th birthday celebration party. The Decs will celebrate our 25 years at Portsmouth and Bristol. Gammel Dansk will feature in special memory.

In the meantime I am due on Blackheath at 9:00am on Tuesday 6^th August…
