Eastbourne; Saturday, 16 August, 2014

An excellent breakfast consumed I headed out of the hotel to have a bit of a wander round the Airbourne site before meeting up with my friends.

We had a long wander along the seafront before they needed to head off and I headed into town for a spot of lunch.

I was back at the hotel with time to spare for the main event of Airbourne for the day, the Red Arrows display. Due to the poor weather on the previous two days their display had been heavily cut back, but with crystal clear blue skies and the sun beating down they were able to do a very long and spectacular display – all of which I saw from the stunning view point of the hotels roof – one of the highest points in the town centre, and at times almost level with the jets as they tore past.

Late afternoon I headed over to my friend’s house and then we headed back out into town for the afternoon, spending quite a bit of the time being deafened by a modern fighter jet tearing across the sky.

I quickly popped back to the hotel to freshen up and get changed as the temperature was starting to drop and shorts were starting to be quite chilly.

I wandered back round my friend’s house for dinner before walking back along the seafront to the hotel and to bed.
