After two years flying rather longer distances, we decided to go on a walking holiday to the Canaries this year, and stop off and do some sightseeing on the way there and back visiting Jerez and Seville in Spain and Lisbon in Portugal. Our route out will take us via Tarbes, in southern France, to Jerez, to Teneriffe South and then back via Grand Canaria, Seville, Lisbon and La Rochelle. Although the Jerez to Teneriffe South would be the longest sector so far undertaken in Juliet Bravo of some 900+ nm, as we will remain in Schengen territory throughout, there are no special requirements we will need so this year we are leaving the barrel refuelling kit and Delorme tracker at home.
Our walking will be done on the small island of La Gomera; although this has a small airport, research shows that it is subject to very strong winds at times so we have decided to leave the aircraft at Teneriffe and cross to La Gomera on the ferry.
