Montrose Fly-in this weekend so will try to visit this strip too! Will pm HighandPilot97.

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.

That might have been the young man who completed his Silver Badge flight yesterday. :)

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.

Hoping to try and pay a visit very soon. Is it still non PPR ?

Aaron Christie is opening his strip at Kirriemuir this Saturday 21st. All pilots welcome.

It is just north of Drumshade on the Meigle to Kirrie road

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.

Apparently, at least 27 planes flew in on the day!

There was some fairly impressive wave activity in the North East on Saturday; some very long distances were flown by sailplanes to good heights, so I'm not surprised you found some turbulence. The SE wind caused some launch challenges too !
