My video #566 shows the north shore of Shuswap Lake flown directly into the blinding morning sun. I didn’t have much fun there because I could barely see anything. I decided to repeat a similar flight while avoiding the easterly direction as much as possible. This is the result, mapping the fantastic nature around us, lucky people.

Key points along the route shown in video # 567 (part 1 of 2) included Buse Hill, Monte Lake, Westwold, Falkland, Armstrong, and a landing in Salmon Arm to top up my fuel. The countryside is absolutely incredible.

This video (Part 2 of 2) covers Salmon Arm, Salmon River, Rosemond Lake, Mara Lake, highlights of Sicamous, the houseboat Mecca, the northeast section of Shuswap Lake, and the north shore with all its attractions below. I continued to Squilax by Little Shuswap Lake, then to McGillivray Lake, Sun Peaks ski resort, Paul Lake, and finally Kamloops airport.

I covered 309 km (192 mi), which was my longest flight so far and the longest stretch of pure fun. The weather was almost perfect with calm flying most of the time.
