Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.
I have planned several routes and will decide on the best one once I see what the Wx conditions are like and how the aircraft is performing on the day.
My proposed routes are:
1. Tatenhill - Hawarden - WAL - IOM - Ronaldsway. (139nm with 71nm water crossing).
2. Tatenhill - Hawarden - Amlwch - IOM - Ronaldsway. (147nm with 42nm water crossing).
3. Tatenhill - Winsford VRP - LL Corridor - Haydock VRP - Marshside VRP - Blackpool - CAR - Ronaldsway. (139nm with 56nm water crossing).
4. Tatenhill - Winsford VRP - LL Corridor - Haydock VRP - Marshside VRP - Blackpool - Barrow Walney Island - Laxey - Ronaldsway. (152nm with 40nm water crossing).
I would like to be around 5000ft - 7000ft over the sea, so am thinking options 2 and 4 would be the better options to achieve that.
Diversions include:
Blackpool, Caernarfon, Hawarden and ultimately Tatenhill.
Can you spot any potential issues? (Which doesn't include the big blue pond lol)
Many thanks again.
