A friend and I are planning a trip in June to incorporate an overnight in Glenforsa, an old favourite and one I’ve stayed at a few times over the years, both by road and air.
Assuming we can acquire enough avgas to be able to fly the trip, the day we leave Glenforsa we fancy doing some island hopping (I’m aware of the requirement to have COVID tests for the islands).
The initial planning brings up a dozen airfields including:
Glenforsa
Coll
Tiree
Barra
Benbecula
Broadford
Plockton
Glendoe
Knockbain Farm
Newhall Mains
Easter
Dornoch
Perth for overnight stop.
Any other ideas from those more local to Scotland, have I missed any must do airfields?
I’m assuming avgas at Oban but appreciate that’s not guaranteed so would probably/possibly have to drop Into Inverness for a splash and dash unless we can obtain fuel in Benbecula or Plockton.
This will be in June, so lots of daylight available though Perth may be our limiting factor or we could overnight in Inverness I guess, but I’ve done that many times with work.
All ideas considered.
