Last Sunday my friend Vagn picked me up in Albatros flying club in Måløv, and we went to Sejerø island.
Østre Færge (English: ferry) on the photo below that sails between Hammer Bakke and the island of Orø:
Ordrup Næs:
The island of Sejerø is 11 km long, and has an area of 12.5 km2. Around 100 people live on the island (2017). It is a beautiful and peaceful place, and I love visiting it.
The harbour of Sejerø:
The airfield is quite small, but more than enough for an ultralight aircraft. I got PPR a couple of days before, and we flew by before doing a round over the island. The blue arrows on the photo below indicate the runway.
We headed for the Light House:
The Light House was light on the 25th September 1852 (different sources give different dates) by Niels Henningsen and Hans Jørgensen Skov that looked after the place. The Light House is 15.2 m tall, and in clear weather it is possible to see its light from 20 km away.
We were aware of the animals that are often around the airfield. Sometimes they cause a go-around.
Jørgen, the owner of the airfield, was at home, and greeted us:
We went to the Light House, and found a place for a late lunch where we could see the blooming trees and enjoy the sea view. The weather was perfect:
Vagn had prepared a delicious meal. We had avocado with shrimps for starter, followed by what we call “Vagn-salad”, a healthy mix of raw vegetables of Vagn’s choice, no dressing.
Then a freshly brewed coffee, hot chocolate (a chocolate bar in the sunlight got really hot!) and strawberries.
Life couldn’t be better.
A stroll on the beach before going back:
We were obsessed with taking pictures of this clock, and couldn’t get it right. Then Vagn found a solution – he climbed up a tree and took some good photos:
Flying back home, we talked about coming to Sejerø again, and spending more time there.
