:world_map: OUR ROUTE

After lifting off from North Connel (EGEO), we’ll begin with a relaxed sightseeing flight through western Scotland.

Our first part of the journey takes us over Dunstaffnage before continuing towards the spectacular Castle Stalker.

From there we’ll make our way towards the Caledonian Canal, eventually arriving in the Fort William area.

:snow_capped_mountain: BEN NEVIS

At Fort William, we’ll begin climbing towards one of the highlights of today’s flight — Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles.

We’ll head towards the Ben Nevis War Memorial at Waypoint 41, where we’ll take the opportunity to slow things down and grab a screenshot or two. :camera_with_flash::helicopter:

Remember that our maximum altitude for the event is 5,000 ft, so plan and fly accordingly.


:hot_beverage: COFFEE STOP – WAYPOINT 47

After our visit to Ben Nevis, we’ll continue around the corner for a brief coffee stop at Waypoint 47.

Find yourself somewhere suitable to put the helicopter down, shut down if you wish, grab a virtual coffee and enjoy the scenery before we continue north.

:hot_beverage::helicopter::black_flag:


:sauropod: KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR NESSIE!

Once everyone is back in the air, we’ll continue through the spectacular Highlands towards one of Scotland’s most famous locations — Loch Ness.

Keep an eye on the water as we make our way along the loch.

We’re not guaranteeing that the Loch Ness Monster will make an appearance… but helicopter pilots have a pretty good view from up there! :eyes:

Screenshots of any suspicious-looking objects in the water are strongly encouraged. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::camera_with_flash:


:black_flag: DESTINATION – INVERNESS

Our journey eventually brings us into Inverness, where the charm of a traditional Scottish market town meets the vibrant Capital of the Highlands.

We’ll finish the day’s adventure at:

:airplane_arrival: EGPE – Inverness Airport

After a fantastic trip through the Highlands, find yourself a parking position, shut down the helicopter and join the rest of the group after another Massive Simulations 32 adventure.
