Having seen the aircraft battle the winds into Heathrow Airport today, for the first time in my career was happy to be in the sim rather than in the air! 2 days of sim assessment done, next stop... Capetown πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ₯©πŸ·

Rollercoaster at work today. Started off strong with a gift from Hells Bells... chocolate AND a serviceable jet πŸ™ Then went downhill when Heathrow Airport went down to single RW ops 😬. Then perked up with some BBQ sauce to celebrate 10yrs operating to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport πŸ₯©

Me: I don't mind, maybe gear down

Mark: *Anguished silent pause...*

Ears blown inside out showing gusty and blustery conditions, even on the lower fells. Mountain Weather were spot on 🎯

Took my favourite boys to my favourite place today. Milo found his mountain legs and after 17km, 900m of up and 5 hours of non stop moving, he was still wanting more! Beautiful winter day in the Lake District πŸΆπŸ—» British Mountaineering Council
