Oh fiddlesticks!! I’m commited elsewhere on Saturday and was planning on going on Sunday.

From the newspaper report it doesn’t sound as if the microlight chap is taking any onboard oxygen with him. It’s not 100pc clear, but if that’s the case then frankly I fear for his safety.

Saturday looks the worst day with an iron overcast predicted as well as rain.
Less chance of rain on Sunday.
