Two weeks ago Simon flew to Bundibugyo. This town is located to the West of Uganda on the border with Congo on the other side of the Rwenzori mountains. It was supposed to be a quick flight and a short day for Simon. However what you plan and what happens in actuality is sometimes very different.
There had been a lot of rain in that part of Uganda in recent days and had rained the whole night before Simon arrived. This meant the airstrip was very wet. The following photos will show what happened better than I could explain :)

| One stuck plane! |
 |
| Sweeping the loose grass aside which added to the problem |
 |
| Thankfully there is always somebody around to help you out a tight spot |
 |
| Thankfully more help came.... |
 |
| The 4WD vehicle did the trick and Simon was able to get the plane out the mud and loose grass |
