WHAT IS OVER YOUR HORIZON?

Picture
The Journeyman Balladeer tours to really feel alive. This site seeks to capture what such a sentence might mean.. and then to share it.
I will write little about flying round the circuit, nor day trips from A to B, and then back to A. They have their place is pilot's progression, and in relation to what else is going on in their lives. This section seeks to inspire  lower hour pilots to spread their wings. 
The Plan for 2021 is:
April- May: 4 weeks in Spain and Portugal
Summer: River Danube: Sea to Source, ending at The Black Sea in Romania.
August: Join Ukranian Flex Wing Club on their annual tour in Ukraine, with possible extension to Moldova. A trip probably needing good local assistance.
I will need to extend the map considerably next winter, if all goes to plan.
