Isle of Lewis

[Elite Pete]

Well I flew to the Isle of Lewis today for a two week stint of work and I thought I would take my laptop to store the pictures I take of the sites while im here and imagine my supprise to find the hotel has wireless internet connection. The flights today were the worst flights ive ever been on, the combination of small propeller planes and high winds are not recommended and to say I almost S*at myself is an under statement and judging by the smell in the cabin I wasn't the only one

Shame about flights m8 but good about internet

my dad has been doing a project in the Isle of Man for the past few years, he takes a prop plane every week, he gets greeted by first name basis now!

As for hotel wireless, loads of places do that now. When ever i am out and about and need a connection, always try for hotels...

But have you spotted an Omega yet?

HA HA  

Welcome to Lewis !

Parents live just outside Stornoway. Yes that errrr Airport is intresting.

Remember DO NOTHING ON A SUNDAY or you will be publically flogged.

I know the place well, so if you want to know where to hang out..

Give you a tip it involves getting on that plane again and flying south

The prop planes have a great safety record, and they are the only planes you get parachutes provided under the seats ...remember that on the way back

Why? Don't they land??

No they just drop out the sky......too many people s**t theirselves on them, can't handle the extra weight

Good luck with the work.

I took a flight from Toronto to near Detroit on a small prop plane a couple of years ago & know what you mean  

I finally put that door on at w/e, cheers
Got a problem with the lock barrel & the central locking closes on it's own occasionally (think the button/mechanism is sticking) but can live with that til I get the trim off again.

First car I saw was an M reg Omega waiting outside the airport but by the time I had got my hire car keys it had gone or I would have told them about this place

About time too you will just have to remember not to leave your keys in the ignition

My window cleaner took me to Isle of Wright in his little prop plane a couple of years back

He was a real plane enthusiast, and often came in for a chat after doing the windows, and invited me up for a flight. Lunch on me, fuel on him
