This trip happened a few weeks ago but it is never too late to share a good story. Three of our machines had flown out to Oban one evening where we took refuge in the Oyster Inn at North Connel. The next day dawned and there was bad weather everywhere east of Oban. To kill the time we went to the local fish market and bought a kilo of Langoustines. In the afternoon the conditions were perfect so we went to a beach on the north west side of Islay to have a picnic microlight style. My father is a keen sailor and had advised of tide times to make sure the tide was out. At this location there is not a soul to be found and you can land on the beach which is one mile long. One stove cooked the crustaceans and the other boiled the soup. A perfect day out and possible from Balado on one tank of fuel.
