Take your partners, kids and friends. Bring your favourite eats and drinks and a small lunch plate to share (the more Ukrainian the better, we should have Ukrainian version of barszcz, our beetroot soup). Bring your smile, good humour and stories to share around the fire, don’t forget longsleevs, hats and gumboots. Meet, talk, sing, eat and drink, all responsibly. I will have small supplies of HopThief, WildYak, Żołądkowa Gorzka and Pigwowa (supplies restored during recent holidays in Poland:) … etc. Previous TUDAs have some pics and vids HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Due to concerns over the current COVID-19 pandemic, this event has been cancelled, to be be rescheduled at a later date.

Couple of my attempts of photos from the video I made – pre-crash and crash-recovery – this was quite an achievement for the small aircraft …

My second attempt of a drone group hug video failed miserably. There were many reasons, but in the end it is mea culpa – I took too long and was in the wrong spot. Mea maxima culpa. The only thing I can do now is to work hard on my drone skills and try to improve the next time.

Couple of short clips are now on youtube here and here (only people with the links can see them).

Compare these with this previous attempt and you will understand what I mean by improve …
