Surprise first solo at Solent Flight Lower Upham Hampshire.
I had been a student pilot since May 5th 2015 and had been looking forward to first solo for a while. When it came it was a complete surprise and I will never be able to explain the mixture of feelings all rolled into one, but overall just brilliant ;-)
My only known mistake was to call "North abeam Bishops Waltham repositioning South abeam" this of course should have been "South abeam Bishops Waltham repositioning North abeam". Though I did call the North abeam position correctly on the down wind leg. I lost 50' late cross wind, to anticipate some thermal lift that was present on the cross wind to down wind turn. circuit height was 1300' at that time.
