I am looking for one more trip like the above, before the UK implements its own quarantine on 8th June. Any ideas? Has to be an almost totally virus-free location, with somewhere to eat and preferably somewhere to stay. I do have a tent but usually if hotels are closed so are campsites and for example Croatia wanted to see a hotel confirmation before they would let me in.
In the meantime here is the video from the Losinj trip

I know you prefer more southerly locations, but the East Frisian islands are all open again and have not had any local infections AFAIK (travel was very limited until very recently and is only slowly picking up now). Several of them, e.g. Borkum, Juist, Norderney, have hard runways of decent quality and length but no instrument approaches.
I have just heard all of Germany is closed to the UK.
I am planning Krk LDRI but the wx looks unclear for the return, so I will decide finally tomorrow morning.
Mali Losinj packed with traffic today. Peter is an influencer and should get paid by airports :-)
Looking at the registrations I am not surprised. Those countries are on EuroGA heavily and always were
It is an accepted fact with the staff at LDLO and LDSB that EuroGA put these airports on the map of light GA, starting with around 2014.
Do enjoy your time there. I wish I could do another trip like this but currently I am stuffed by both the wx and the quarantine.
I have been there from the 29th of May as well as two other EuroGA members.
Looks like we could have done a small meeting if we knew from each others
Make sure you visit the herb garden and get some lavender and geranium oils
Went to LDSB yesterday after LDLO 3 weeks ago, was just great. But it is just amazing how much airport staff they have for 1-4 GA planes each day.

In have made an announcement in advance here at Ad hoc fly-ins. So we met the other German crew at LDLO.
Missed that one :-(
I will be smarter next time
