We wanted to take Cris and Rosi to places we knew would work well, so one of our first ideas was naturally Höganäs. It's a great grass runway, close to town, on the spectacular Kullaberg peninsula. When you add in that it's only a 30min flight from Copenhagen, which routes you over the Danish royal summer palace and UNESCO listed Helsingør fortress, how can you go wrong?
Höganäs as a club has the policy to be open and welcoming to visitors and the warmth of the welcome is another good reason to visit. In summer they have their 'flying fish' (flygfisk) meetings on a Tuesday night where people from all over Sweden, Denmark and even Germany come for their special baked herring. As usual we were a bit too early, so had to content ourselves with going to the local fish smokery and getting the secret recipe for the fish.
We borrowed bicycles for Cris and Rosi from the club (a very reasonable 20 SEK each), which worked perfectly for cycling all around Höganäs on the day we arrived and the following day for Mölle harbour (a very beautiful little fishing village) and then up to the point of the Kullaberg. I was very reassured by Olle's incredibly kind offer to come and pick us up if we had any problems though!
The next day was time to say some fond farewells though. Thank you Höganäs air club, we had a fantastic time and hope that some of your members will look us up in Australia.
