Finished 150NM!

I've finished eventually the 150 nautical mile long cross-country flight. The weather was not so good, but better than these past few days. I had a booking of a Cessna from 4 pm, but I could luckily departure one hour earlier because another Cessna was canceled. The sunset time is about 6:45 in Vancouver now, and I wanted to have more than three hours for this flight. I flew to Hope city east of Chilliwak which was of course my first visit. I planned to fly at 5,500 feet but I couldn't because of clouds and I had to fly about 2,500 feet. I was worried about turning over the small city because I knew it was surrounded by mountains and I had to make slightly steep turn. Making a steep turn at this altitude is a little bit dangerous especially for us student pilots. Then I did it and landed Chilliwak for 10 minutes to take a rest. The second leg was to Pit Meadows where I have made a lot of touch and goes, but I have never made a full stop. There was no problem except the radio device at Pit Meadows. The radio usually goes wrong somehow around Pit Meadows. Maybe there is a kind of interference of radio because the frequency at Pit Meadows is just 120.00MHz. Pit Meadows was a peaceful airport and I had a very good impression to the airport. After taking a 10 minute rest at Pit Meadows, I started the last leg to Abbotsford. Flying over Langley airport at 2,000 feet, I made one touch and go at Abbotsford and came back to Boundary Bay. It was 2.8 hour flight in total and I finished it. All I have to do is preparing for the flight test and the written exam. I hope to finish all these stuff in this month.
