Nor that of feeling the ground shake and looking DOWN off yer Welsh

a thousand feet.

I got chased across the Denbigh moors by a bloke in a Harrier (I was in
an old VeeDub) on a very quiet (traffic-wise) day in November. Once the
trees started closing in, he went over the top of the car (probably at
about 50 feet), waggled his wings and shot off upwards at an extreme
angle and an enormous amount of noise.
