Crossing Shark Infested Custard
Hi Guys, a question for the more experienced.
Later this year I'm off in my Bulldog to tour Scotland. I am very experienced, but am rather used to flying in controlled airspace in a big jet. I do have an IR and my Bulldog has an excellent IR fit with twin VOR, twin Sat Nav etc.
On the first leg I need to transit Turweston to Carlisle. I would prefer to stay fairly low (mainly for the view), but need to safety transit Manchester/Liverpool CTZ. I am aware of the high ground to the east and am not overly keen on flying over water for any distance. I need also to have a bad weather plan. I gather the Manchester VFR corridor is busy. I also need to keep the plan simple.
