The start of it all

We planned to achieve a long held wish for us both, to land on the beach on the Isle of Barra. Everything was in place. The tiny Twin Otter plane was cramped, not even room to stand upright, and the seats were so close you had better be on good terms with your neighbour. Set off from Glasgow in glorious sunshine, set to continue. But somewhere between Glasgow and Barra a storm blew up out of nowhere, no one had predicted it, and by the time we should have landed, visibility was down to 50ft on the island. We circled for an hour, attempted to make an approach, a quick glimpse of the beach and then we were ascending again. No landing on Barra that day. Back to Glasgow airport.
Such a disappointment. Especially as all our trip was planned and booked ahead so everything was thrown out. Not the kind of start we anticipated for our trip.
