I am planning a long fly for GUMPY in the UK up through the Manchester corridor and then keeping to the west coast up to Stornoway. Is this area familiar to anyone? Can I get mogas north or the lake district anywhere? or maybe UL91?
There is a big restricted zone R601B over Skye, anyone know if I am likely to get clearance?
Could I camp anywhere up there? Will I be midged to death as soon as I open the cockpit?
Anyone landed at Stornoway?
Tips appreciated as always.

Graeme, I have landed at Stornaway, Oban and Barra - all
very friendly and helpful, but back in 2010 only offering
Avgas. Would suggest ringing the ops numbers in Pooleys
if you want to avoid Avgas. All the restricted zones are
non active at the W/Es but I don't know about other times.
Alasdair Milne is a bit of an expert on the area but is
between Arctic and Irish trips at the moment and may not
have time to offer advice. As far as midges go I think it
is more a question of whether midges like you or not. My
skin seems to be thick enough that I haven't been troubled
on a half dozen holidays in Scotland when others have been
much troubled, but I think the outer islands may be less
troubled than the mainland.
Regards, DJ/David

Glenforsa,Isle of Mull - you can camp and obtain mogas from the local garage.Look in Pooleys and ring David Howitt. If the weather is good Glenforsa is magical! If you need mogas at Cark I can bring you some just get in touch. Beware Cark is a parachute field PPR and study Pooleys for joiningG-CEKV
