I have an endurance of 5 hours and a range of about 700nm. In practice I enjoy flying up to three hours for one leg, which is about 400nm. With my Wife onboard I limit things to 2.25h or about 300nm.
I love touring the more remote parts of the UK, as well as Ireland and France, but I go on a whim and often decide where I will spend the night at the lunch stop. To me this is part of the romance of flying, and the Scottish islands are the perfect place to enjoy a light aircraft and a VFR approach with almost no hassle as you flit from strip to strip. I fly for fun but because I like touring in the more remote arrears I need speed and reasonable STOL.
I have tried trips in IFR in the past, but you are then flying to arrive, not flying for fun. I spent last weekend touring around Scotland (I am midlands based) and did 5 hours flying over 2 days and had a really good time, met some very interesting people doing exactly the same and will be back up there in a few weeks for more.
