After so many cancelled lessons at EGHI due to unsuitable weather I thought it was quite a gamble when I decided to do an intensive weeks training in Inverness in Oct/Nov.
I don't know if I was just lucky, but I only had one bad weather day in the nine I was there. Apparently, it is very unusual not to be able to fly up there - not what you would at first think from a darn sowth perspective! I had been told that Inverness has it's own micro climate and checking forcasts regularly for that area this does seems to be the case.
I am returning for my night qualification in January, so I will let you know if my perception changes!
