there is a wind direction (from over the hill possibly N.W.) which makes the strip almost unusable!!!
When the wind is from the
South there is a rotor effect caused by the trees and buildings as you would expect.
Depending on the wind strength, the effect can range from 'Hmm interesting' to 'character building' but as a based pilot operating a Cub from Glenforsa, I have rarely found it 'unusable'.
I would strongly advise that visiting pilots obtain local information from someone who has actually flown an aircraft, thereby avoiding lurid tales of 'The Wind of Death' and 'Flocks of Killer Geese' etc that may cause pilots to disregard relevant information that may be of some use to them.
Paul Keegan at Oban is one source I would recommend.
I have seen the 2 wind socks pointing towards each other so some form of updated ground information is a real life saver!
I couldn't agree more, as long as you can be confident of the quality of said information.
