Landed at lovely Westmuir strip today and received very friendly welcome from Richie.
Only thing that confused me slightly was that there was a glider sitting in the very next field!
It turned out that it had landed out during a cross-country task fom Portmoak and was being retrieved by trailer just as I left.

I quite fancy visiting Westmuir tomorrow afternoon/evening (Friday). Is there space to park for a while? I was thinking of getting some food at Armstrongs - https://www.armstrongs-restaurant.com - looks walkable from the strip I think. Thanks.

Glorious day for it but heading south I was astonished by the turbulence over the Grampians and the headwind component. 40+ kts being the worst of it.
Eventually gave up having burnt a quarter of my fuel to cover one third of the journey.
Heading home, 70 kts on the ASI and 114 on the GPS!

Pity that you could not make it. It was great day a Westmuir with about 15kts straight down the strip. 18 other visiting planes by the time I left.
And some lovely sausage rolls and cakes to eat! Thanks to all involved.
