My great commuting plan came a little unstuck today. It's the first day of the Tube strike, but with my aerial commute using the cable car I thought I'd be able to avoid the problems.
There was a slight increase in passengers this morning, although I still had a car to myself as we took off for the flight across the Thames. Then at the cruising altitude of 297 feet, a special announcement about turbulence came onto the speaker system.
The cable care was swaying around, but I regard that as part of the fun of the journey.
We landed and I disembarked for the next part of my journey.
Except.
The wind continued to grow and by around lunch time it was difficult to walk around.
The cable cars had disappeared.
They'd all been tucked back into their little shelters at either end of the route. I was now stranded on the wrong side of the river.
Things could get rather tricky for me to get back to base.
