Anyone privy to the plans for heading to Glenforsa this weekend ?
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.

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.

"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
