Well – just checked Oban’s opening times – it doesn’t open until 10:00 am on Sundays, so I’m going to have to give Barra a miss – I won’t have the time to catch both low tides, so it’s one or the other. I’d rather land on Sollas.
I also need to delay tanking up until after I’ve left Glenforsa as I want to be light coming out of there, so fuelling up the night before at Oban and then going into Glenforsa is not an option. Ah well – just the one beach landing, then – at least it’ll be a good one! Nothing but sand!

It sounds great, it’ll be interesting to know how the tail wheel copes in the sand, might be worth taking the lid of a biscuit tin or something similar to put under the tailwheel when its parked in the sand to stop it sinking (motorbike stands do the same in soft surfaces ;-(
The sand on Sollas is very firm at low tide – it was like soft Tarmac! Not a problem. Amazing place to land. Write up n pics to come!
