I dont think any of the advice given thus far is "tosh", (as stated on previous post now removed) on the contrary, the OP did state he wanted to plan his CC flight as a student to Barra. Not having flown into Bara myself yet, but am very aware of the reqirements for a flight to Barra, plus the added factor of tide tables which do not usually form part of flying training for SEP Land pilots the added flight planning is IMHO not needed nor practical in this case.
