It may be the prat that thought he could stop all aircraft flying in class G in Scotland for the period of 7 days during joint Warrior just by issuing a NOTAM.
I don't have the chart either to hand and from memory the danger area doesn't encompass dornoch.
Even if you can't get your normal downwind, just go through the over head and do a tear drop over the sea onto final to a right base. Or come straight in at the other end.
I don't think I have been there outside a spot landing comp when there as been more than one aircraft trying to land at a time.
