dantheman Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Top pics mate as usual, I'm having the same weather fun as you - currently staying on the Border in Kielder forest and it's sun/rain/cloud/wind/still changing every 30 mins so not getting much airtime. At least your campsite is a bit smooth for when it does drop off a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Stunning scenery, it must be great flying up there when the weather's behaving Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishmotorman Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have a 6 berth motorhome that I've been hiring out privately for some time now. When it's not on hire I often use it myself to explore different areas of Scotland for flying and it makes a fantastic mobile base for a flying break. If anyone is interested in hiring it for a weekend or longer and seeing what Scotland has to offer the Paramotor pilot, check out the website I've set up at http://www.tourscotlandbymotorhome.com or get in touch via the forum. http://www.youtube.com/user/scottishmotorman Happy Flying.

powerlord Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 @#$@#$ ! why didn't I find your advert before!! that would have been ruddy ideal! Could have just driven up in car with gear, and swapped into motorhome. bugger. definately next time! - I've sent you a mail via your website. where are you based ? stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishmotorman Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I live in Linlithgow which is between Edinburgh and Glasgow. About half an hour from Stirling Castle and the Wallace monument, an hour from the Trossachs and about 2 hours from Glencoe, the Western Isles etc. so there's some great flying when the weather plays ball. Give me a shout through the website if you (or anyone) fancies hiring the motorhome for a jaunt. It'll easily take 2 paramotors and associated kit with one on the cycle carrier and one in the storage area. Happy flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerlord Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 I will do. Parents live in Lanark, so handy enough. Just added loads more Oban pics to the gallery too. stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavrob Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Stu, Fantastic pictures of an area I adore... The caravan & camping site shown in your second set of photos ( Oban Caravan Park ), belongs to my sister! Did you stay there? Regards, Gavin.

garyfreefly Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Just had a look at your pictures.....they are absolutely stunning... Did you stay at that campsite that you have photographed in the first couple of shots....! its the one I stayed at last year .....while we waited until the next days ferry to Oban... (didnt actually get there because we got chucked of the ferry) because they said it was a van and not a motorhome....... ... and as such the fare was double....I dug my heals in and made a fuss it didnt get me anywhere.....they still didnt let me go... ..... so I flew there instead when you have the weather you seem to be having.....you couldnt wish for more....

powerlord Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 cheers Gary - was thinking the same thing about your ones yesterday - love the way you get the wing in some of them - whats your kit/lens/etc ? yup - took off from campsite with their permission. The weather lasted about 3 hours - pissed rain that night, and was pissing rain and blowing a gale during that day - I was out with the wind meter every 30 mins that day waiting for the right moment for a break in the weather. that's the first pics I've taken with a DSLR - really liked the way they came out I must admit. Looking forward to flying around there again. stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
