Bute - Islay - Colonsay - Glenforsa - Sky - Plockton

Bute - Islay 30 minutes
Islay - Conalsay 30 minutes
Conalsay - Glenforsa 45 minutes
Glenforsa - Sky 1hr 07 minutes
Sky - Plockton - 15 minutes

Highlight: Speaking to Charlotte on the phone while I flew over the wale and across to Conalsay.

Today made all the effort worth while...tommorrows mission is to fly at midnight, is soo lite here...keep you posted...

We are off to the Outer hebradies tommorrow....

Colonsay !!!


Laurie - Daryl - Dave make it too the island of Colonsay, a small island north of Islay. The breaches were breathtaking and deserted, the island scarcely inhabited. Just of the South Coast on the 5 mile water crossing we spy a whale swimming the cristal clear waters....just breathtaking ;-)))

The Airfield has one runway 02-20 winds light and variable but because there are 3 flights a week to this island its airfield boasts a firetruck!

There were no landing fees and a warm welcome from the locals who all arrived in minutes...
