Walking on La Gomera turned out to be somewhat disappointing for a number of reasons, not least the weather. While on the coast, it was usually quite bright and sunny, inland it was often dull, windy with occasional rain and drizzle.
On the day before departure to Grand Canaria where we were due to meet up with some PPL/IR friends for the evening, a problem arose. Grand Canaria was notammed as being out of avgas. Our PPL/IR friends with the help of a Spanish friend flying his bonanza had gone to a small club airfield on the south of the island where avgas was available and suggested we went there. However we could not find the airfield on any map, nor get any details about it from our handler so reluctantly came to the conclusion that we would have to miss out this stop and go directly to Lanzarote where avgas was available.
This we did in an uneventful flight and refuelled on arrival. Lanzarote did not require handling but unless you had been there before and knew your way around the officialdom, it was all but essential.
