Hooray. The weather was (just) good enough for my nemesis flight to Bembridge today. After departing from Bournemouth we encountered a layer of cloud below us at about 1200ft. I am not rated to fly when not in sight of the surface (yet) and so we used my instructor's privileges to remain legal until we saw a gap in the clouds as we approached Bembridge.
I am pleased to report that the circuits were successful. Didn't crash or trundle off the end of the runway.
We then departed low-level towards Romsey via Lyndhurst at just about our minimum altitude to avoid the low cloud.
So an unusual flight, but I feel that the Bembridge curse has been broken.
