I got back from an incredible tour of the west coast and islands of Scotland on Sunday 03rd June, after a short but packed three days of some of the best flying I’ve experienced. I didn’t manage to visit Campbeltown or Tiree due to runway works at Campbeltown and early closing at Tiree, but I did fulfil a long-held wish to land on the beach at Sollas and camp over-night at the beautiful grass strip at Glenforsa on Mull, as well as taking in some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer. It didn’t work out exactly as planned – what ever does? – But it was a superb trip nonetheless.

I also didn’t get to Orkney, but that just gives me another three day trip to look forward to in the future! Hopefully this summer.

You can read an account of the trip, with lots of great pictures, here.

I hope you enjoy it.
