Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Merci beaucoup, mon ami. Vive La Belle France. And not a pylon or turbine in sight.

Ah, the magnificent embonpoint of Les Challengers/eurs! What charm! What spirit! I salute you all and wish you bon voyage! It is, how you say, a Magnificent Folly - but one that gives great pleasure . . .

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

If you want to do a bit of your own virtual flying around Scotland, you can use this free aircraft simulator (http://www.gefs-online.com/gefs.php). Open the 'Location' tab (bottom left) and enter the name of your start point in the box at the bottom. Then you can fly your plane around the mountains in 3D!

(The 'Options' tab tells you what buttons to use to control the plane. It's not too difficult. You can do most of it with the up, down, left & right arrows.)

I love the way it accelerates dramitacally when approaching the distillary at Mallaig.

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Thank you so much! Lovely flight. Some of the land seemed to be distinctly tectonic though - hope the lumpy bits stay still when I walk over them in May!

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Wow, fasten your seatbelt! Feel like I've been on my hols now. I especially like the shifting tectonic plates, the sea eagles, the 14 otters and the gripping handbrake turns. Thanks for the treat

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Mmes Merrylegs et Linda - indeed you show me too much honour! Alas I am old, and for me the handbrakes no longer grip de rigour. But we have our memories, n'est ce pas? Bonne chance avec Le Challenge - et courage surtout!

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Nothing happens . It says to download the Google Earth plug in. Do I do that first?

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

Search me, guv. Clicking on the link does it for me. I guess that if the pixies are asking you to download the Google Earth plug-in, go for it. It won't do any harm.

Strathcarron looks like being the hot start-point this year! Yum yum can't wait, won't wait . . .

Re: Fly over all the Challenge start-points

If it is any help I had the same problem when using Google Chrome - and even after downloading the plugin it just told me to download it. So I tried good old Internet Explorer and it worked fine.

Colin.
