With regards to a trip to Skye , We would need wild horses to prevent us
visiting , or should I say an uncompleted aircraft!!! Hopefully next
year..........!!!! Although I paid a fleeting visit to Skye about 1 month
ago, I was under pressure though because I had arranged to take two
Canadians to see some of Scotland in our caravan , however what was
originally to be two weeks got squeezed into 8 days and 1885 miles
including visits to three of their cousins never before met !!!
We used to have a holiday home at Dunnet Head (further north than John
O'Groats ) and have spent many delightful holidays north of the border .
One of my aims is to fly to Wick for a long weekend and revisit Thurso and
lots of our friends around.Hope to see you next year, notwithstanding lots
of sanding and even learning to fly before then !!!!Don't forget to remind
us of your dates though ?
Regards

So where were all the UK Europas last weekend ? A Western Isles weekend
awaited you from the sterling efforts of Sandy and Emil Pels, who had even
laid on ground transport.
Admittedly the weather wasn't all that good over the country and we had
the
advantage of coming in through the backdoor so to speak, as Saturday also
saw
the Highland fly-in at Plockton and Broadford on Skye further north.
Perhaps some Europas had left before we arrived later on Saturday, but 10
people still sat down for a seafood dinner in Tobermory that night. On
Sunday some went off towards the monastery at Iona (and I believe came
back),
others went to encourage Europa no.8, being built on the island. All in
all
a great weekend - perhaps we'll see more of you next year ?
