Not a trip report, but advice please.
A visit to Glenforsa is on my bucket list.
Base airfield to Carlisle for aircraft and body refuel, no problem.
I am assuming very high probability of of cloudbase precluding any direct routing.
My aim is to coastal creep, to minimise over water time and have some green under me if it suddenly goes very quiet in the cockpit. Basically it would be a squeeze between the wet stuff to port, and high stuff to starboard.
Looking at Skydemon and Google Earth my first shot at a plan is:
Carlisle - Lennox/Plunton - Newton Stewart - Girvan. (Is it possible to get up through that valley to avoid the danger areas to the west?)
Girvan - West Kilbride along the coast assuming zone transit through Prestwick.
West Kilbride - Bute (dodging EGR515) - Lochgilphead - Dunstrune Castle.
Continue coastal creep and island hop to Oban - Glenforsa.
Any advice or experiences would be much appreciated.
