Loch Avon at 2200' seems quite high
Beat me to it 10W

(When you put people up front it tends to sit further forward. )

Feshiebridge airstrip in the Cairngorms, at 860 metres or about 2795' gets my vote....one of the most exciting sights I have ever flown gliders from!

yeah I thought that Leeds Bradford was the highest in the UK? Hence why it was a silly place to put an airport because its always fogged out!
Not today It is gloriously sunny and warm. But it is just a little bit hazy
