Feshiebridge
FEISHIEBRIDGE: Gliding site (also known as AVIEMORE, FESHIE & KINCRAIG, KINCRAIG and FESHIEBRIDGE)
Note: Previously listed as AVIEMORE. Not exactly amended as 'quick as a flash', after four years I have got around to heeding the 'Comment' by Gary Brindle below. No excuse as such, but with over 5000 other sites to deal with - it can take a while.
Note: All of these four pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. If anybody can kindly offer other pictures, these will be much appreciated.
Operated by: 1980s: Mr J Williamson
1990: Miss Jane Williamson (Inverness-shire & Cairngorn Gliding Club
2000: Cairngorm Gliding Club
Location: 0.5nm SSE of Feshiebridge, 1.5nm SE of Loch Insh
Runways: 1990: 02/20 670 grass
2000: 03/21 800x5 grass
2001: 03/21 900x8 grass
NOTES: A runway five metres wide is often thought to be akin to trying to land on tramlines. Oddly enough, having landed a few times on very narrow runways, I reckon it is rather easier than using wider runways that are unmarked. But, they can be tricky in a strong crosswind.
