Waiting out the weather in Paris

This is the lot of the VFR pilot: waiting on the weather. I've had a great run the last week or so, having flown from Stockholm to Lubeck, then Reims Prunay, Dijon and yesterday landing at Emerainville-Lognes just to the West of Paris. Now, however, the two highs that had parked themselves pleasantly over the continent and North Sea, have collapsed and are replaced by lows and a long cold front bringing TS and higher, gusty winds.



This was the "risk" I knew I was taking by engaging in a long cross-country over Northern Europe in October/November. I had hoped I'd be able to get out to England and fly with a friend down to Newquay (St. Mawgans), but those dreams have been dashed. Now I'm strategizing just to see how I'll get back to Stockholm by the end of my holiday.

I'll recap some of the recent flights while I wait...
