I’d love some advice on a potential trip to northern Spain at the end of July returning beginning of August with my missus for a family wedding. I don’t have an IMC rating so it would have to be VFR all the way and back. My fellow group member pilot (similar qualifications) has expressed an interest in coming too so sharing the flying is no problem and I think this could be quite an adventure. Aircraft is an AA5-B so more than capable for load and endurance.
Total flying time not including stops must be about 6 hours from Shobdon. Planning and preparation is ultra important of course let’s take that as read!
What do my learned friends here think about the likelihood of weather playing ball? I have a Plan B but I would really like to do this trip but not be an accident statistic. Any advice on route, planning, alternatives and the like would be most welcome. The event we are attending is fixed of course and I will have to avoid Getthereitis / Gethomeitis of course. Plan B will mean a lot of driving but is doable but not nearly such fun.
