Thanks for the info, unfortunately I won't be making this trip, or any trip for that matter. I crashed my beloved Maule into an Aberdeenshire hillside Thursday night. No injuries for my passenger or myself fortunately, but my pride and joy that I've spent 600 of the best hours of my life touring ever nook and cranny of the U.K. and Western Europe is a total write off . Broke my heart today taking the wings off and loading the wrecked fuselage and gathering up the landing gear onto a trailer with a forklift on a windswept hill in the middle of nowhere in the pissing rain. Bad day, mad at myself but again thankful no injuries. The emergency services, cops,fire and ambulance personnel and the guys that monitored and responded to my ELT signal were first class.

Tomorrow's another day.
