Thanks to a decent tailwind on the way, and a not quite so strong headwind on the way back, the round-trip took 2.6 hours during which we burned 110 of avgas, which, taking into account the yet-to-be-claimed drawback of £0.3835, works out at about £128 in total or just over £42 each - cheaper than most Ryanair flights.*
As an aside, the weather looked a bit pants locally when we turned up at the airport for the return flight, but the visibility over the sea was actually quite good.
*OK, that might not take into account landing fees, engine/prop funds, insurance, maintenance, cost of capital invested etc.
