When I taxied on our runway in Holbæk flying club, I could feel how wet it was. In fact, I had never experienced our runway to be that wet. There have been lots of heavy rains recently, and many other grass airfields were under water.
I took off, and noticed how flooded the Skjolds Løb, a channel going to the Lammefjord, was:
The air was quite misty, and I decided to stay close to my home airfield.
Nekselø island, 2 km2 and 17 inhabitants, very nice place for a hiking day trip:
Leif, a pilot from my flying club, was going to join me for that flight, but had to cancel due to other priorities. So I invited The Aviator and The Blue Bear – they happily jumped on:
The beautiful formations of Krageø:
I flew further to Røsnæs peninsula and Kalundborg fjord:
Had a look at Kalundborg and its famous landmark, the five-towered Church of Our Lady built in the 13th century:
Kalundborg harbour:
I decided to fly over Reersø island. I’ve never been there, and needed some inspiration for a simple day tour, whilst the weather is bad (and you cannot go flying that often):
It looked like one could walk the whole island around. On its west side, there were small cliffs. Definetely a good destination – I hope to visit it soon:
There was inversion around 2,000 feet, and the sun disappered earlier:
My flight was very pleasant, and looked like that:
Before landing, I took some pictures of the full moon on the rise, with my home flying club below:
The sky was so beautiful, but I didn’t stay long after the sunset, because of the mist – it could quickly develop to something else, like fog… The fairings of my Aeroprakt were so dirty! I managed to wash them before it became dark.
It was a lovely afternoon in the air, and I was very happy about the chance given.
