In this adventure flight (which lasted a whopping 2.5 hours!) I take you on a quick trip to the Great Polish Map of Scotland which is located in the grounds of the Barony Castle Hotel. It's a truly epic place to visit when you're on the ground so you can imagine my excitement seeing it from the skies above!
After the trip to the map, I flew down the length of the River Tweed all the way from Peebles to Berwick upon Tweed, a 70mile distance (based on river length).

WARNING!!!! The intro is a little long (explaining my absence)... so if you want to jump straight to the flying bit go to 03:20.
