Jersey and France for the Weekend

Ali who is married to my cousin Marie has his pilots licience and they both live over in Jersey so he said "i'll come pick you up from blackbushe if you like and you can come and stay with us for the weekend" me and kelly jumped at the chance. He picked us up from Blackbushe airport and 1 hour later we touched down in Jersey. After we had reached 2,000 feet Ali gave me controls and i took the 'Mooney' upto 3,000ft and with a crusing speed of about 196mph i flew us over Portsmouth, Brembridge past Cherborg, Alderney, Sark, Guernsey and then into Jersey. Ali took over to land but i was super stoked to have flown that far. On Saturday we flew into St Malo in France for the day and it only took 30mins, amazing. We had lunch and walked about then picked up some beers and flew back. There is a Video below of us landing in France. We had such a brilliant weekend and can't wait to go back. Thanks Ali, Marie and Amilie!!!!
