Kirkbride Airfield in Cumbria to St. Just Airport (Land's End) in Cornwall
This final part of the UK coastal bush trip series will take you southbound along the western coastline of England and Wales.
You will depart from Kirkbride Airfield in Cumbria and fly to St.Just Airport (Land's End) in Cornwall.
The majority of landings will be on grass strip airfields, some of which are quite short !
The trip is spread over 17 legs and covers approximately 572 NM.
If you need to refuel, this can now be accomplished in the FS menu, but only when on the ground.
If you follow the suggested instructions for this flight, your actual distance travelled and time taken may differ from that displayed on the Navlog.
TTS (Text to speech) navigation assistance is included for the whole trip.
Download also includes a printable Navlog.
Installation. Unpack the UK-Bush-Trip-5.zip and copy/drag & drop the ukbushtrip-5 folder into your FS2020 Community folder.
(If you're not sure where this is, there are tutorials in the FS forums and YouTube videos that will help you find it)

One of the best bush trips I've flown. The legs are mostly short, so flew most of the 17 sections, 2 legs at a time. Each POI has it's own picture and there's text to speech audio for takeoff, POI's and landing plus a few triggers for landmarks, which makes this Bush Trip standout from most, including Asobo's own. The G1000NXi mod makes finding even the smallest of fields trivial but there are some challenging short field landings near the 3/4 mark (but not a ridicules as the hillside landing on leg 14 of the "offical" Bordeaux bush trip lol) .
The only minor bug I saw was leg 15, where the picture of Gorrel Farm Airstrip (EGIA) RWY 18 looked to have been taken from the opposite direction (RWY 36), so was a little hard to recognise.
Note: As an older Bush Trip made prior to the UK update, POI pictures, etc. don't exactly match SU7 due to changes in tree densities/heights, etc. but given the overall quality of the Bush Trip, they can be forgiven.
