I FLEW TO THE ISLES OF SCILLY IN A FLEXWING MICROLIGHT!!!

We flew from Bodmin Airfield to St Mary's Airport on the Isles of Scilly

[@paul_laws]

The algorithm did it's job and brought new eyes to microlight flying. Utterly amazing! The views are spectacular. I was also enchanted by the Scilly Isles. Their tourism board should thank you.

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

Bloody hell . Good to see the islands again after nearly 37 years. I used to live in higher town St Martin's and you just went over my old cottage. I haven't been back there since 1987 . I think of the islands nearly every day and I was so happy to see it again. You don't see much when they do tourist information. Had to leave as there was no work and everything is set up now for the rich .look forward to some more videos

[@trev.lee.adventure]

It sure is a wonderfull place

[@glennoc8585]

That's a pity that it's a place only for the rich. I used to live near st Ives and it's much the same

[@glennoc8585]

What's the maximum cross wind for you're microlight on the runway departure?

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

@@glennoc8585 makes you sick doesn't it ? Soon there will be no places where normal everyday folk can go. I left St Martin's and went to Porthcawl in South Wales . Even there the prices are shooting up .

[@hoperp1951]

Having come across your trip to Lundy Island yesterday, a quick follow up with the Isles of Scilly, looks wonderful and just added to my "bucket list". Thank you :)

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Wonderful go for it

What fun! I've always thought flying one of these little aircraft would be a marvelous experience. It's a hobby I can't get into any longer, but if I can fly with you here on KZbin, that will be enough.

😬

[@SLOPPY1001]

Wow Trev. Just stumbled across your video browsing on KZbin. This has got to be one of the best videos I've ever seen. I didn't know the Scilly isles are so beautiful, it was like you discovered a new planet. How amazing you can fly through the clouds and have such confidence navigating to new places. I'd love to be able to do that. Keep up the good work and as a new subscriber looking forward to seeing many more of your ventures 😁👍🛩️

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Thank you so much. Please check out my Arctic Expedition series

[@fosty148]

Brought back great memories of day trips to the IoS from Bodmin with my father at the controls of his Piper Cherokee. I can honestly say that it does look like the Caribbean, having honeymooned in Antigua. It could, quite possibly, be nicer, especially St. Martins.

In 2001 I was one of ten passengers that flew on the skybus, a Britten Norman Islander from St Just airfield, my seat was just behind the pilot and I had a great view, your video bought back happy memories, we spent 4 days there then flying back on the same route, and yes it is spectacular, haven't been back since , but thanks for sharing Trev, it is a special place isn't it.

From memory i think it was £22. But was well worth it 👍

The views from the height you fly gives a great appreciation for the places, the Scilly isles looked fantastic, I did miss hearing the air noise & communication with the towers though lol

I love your channel. Brilliant stuff. I'd love to do that. I remember the same amazement as I approached the isle's by air. It's spectacular. I'd of loved to do it by microlight. How much does it.cost in fuel and fees to conduct a trip like that. Do you travel down to the take off airfields via car and trailer or fly airfield to airfield. How long did you stay on the islands ..did you explore via boat to the smaller islands... I have so many questions for you. I'd love to attempt that ..but fear the costs and my ability would hinder me... So cool to see it through you. Do you have a parachute... I must stop asking questions ... Thanks for the chance to experience this in a way. Keep it up legend

[@trev.lee.adventure]

I fly everywhere. Fuel costs generally are 13 to 15 ltrs per hr + landing fees. we stayed about 2 hrs and flew back to Bodmin airfield. I don't have a parachute 😬
