I'm in the Yak 50 (YAKK) from North Weald & will probably be in the Lakes Thursday/Friday based out of Kirkbride & fueling from Carlisle..

Couldn't get hold of John Ware to confirm the plan & stumbled upon this thread c/o google

Ta in advance

Flew up to Glenforsa for the weekend 18/19th. Airstrip was in excellent condition and Scottish info was very helpful and pleasant, especially to a recent PPL.
Coming from EGNU we routed Maryport/Turnberry/Holy Island(Arran)/Crinan Canal/Lismore Island and straight up the Sound of Mull.
Can the scenery get much better than this?
Have a good trip people.

May I ask what GF's policy is regarding no show hotel bookings due to weather? ( A significant possibility in the Scottish climes) Does one still have to pay for the room etc?

Personally, my backup plan to get at the Glenforsa dinner menu if the weather doesn't play fair for Yaks is to either walk - a fair step from White Waltham, but worth it - or we borrow that Caravan that keeps turning up at the Waltham pumps, while the driver isn't looking, and parachute in through the clag. I did contemplate taking the train, but then realised that was just silly.

Looks like the weather might just be good enough - looking forward to heading off tomorrow morning!

"Dogs Knob!" as my old sim instructor used to whisper in my ear when I flew a good IR profile in the box. That is pretty much how I would describe the last weekend in GF and Colonsay.

Sad thing is... I'm home too soon . Darn wx.

Even worse... I got home and stood on the bathroom scales . Like Wide-Body suggests... I have a wider body! Food was to die for! Lovely lovely lovely... I'm considering buying a smoker myself now.

Maybe a late summer trip chaps?

P.s. Please censor the photos before you put them on here chaps! You know the ones I mean!!

Yup. Over all too quickly, but what tremendous fun. Can't wait for the photos.

Thanks to everyone for making it happen - at Oban, on the strip, off the strip , in the bar (cheers B+A), the restaurant, the caravan and in the air

Highlights for me ... ? Almost too many to mention .... but two that stand out were the photo-shoot on Saturday, and looping the RV8 over the Sound of Mull

Roll on next time

[Human Factor]

Yep. Tremendous fun. Life's a beach!!

[Say again s l o w l y]
