  1. Well i took off at 4.30 on Friday evening and headed to Southend, a slight cross wind/head wind and a total of about 35 miles, one hour 40 mins later i got there, the last 20 mins the wind really picked up(fast trim and bar and down to 8mph!!).

    Everybody had a fly on Saturday evening.

    Sunday was an early start for some (4.30am flying) not for me tho but at 10.30 to took off and headed back to land in the playing field by my house, only 45mins to get back at 3500ft all the way abovet the clouds BLOODY GREAT!!!.

    Thanks to everybody that sorted out the fly-in.

  2. Hi, just posting details for approaching the village for the weekend.

    If flying, approach along the main A12 where you will see the flying field - please avoid flying over the village, especially the north, or top end by the church unless you are at a minimum of 1000 feet, due to horses and farm animals. The flying field is one of the furthest from the farm.

    If driving, head for Stratford St Mary, Hall Farm, where you will pick up the signs to the field just outside the entrance of the farm.

    Fees are £10 for Lemmings members, £20 for non members for weekend camping. £5 if not staying overnight. We are fundraising for Asthma UK.

    Plenty of local pubs and resturants - one in particular will do late bar meals and full English breakfasts from 9:30 am.

  3. Hi Eddie - as far as the long range weather forecast allows, the fly-in is still going ahead, although other messages will be posted nearer the time if the weather is doubtful.

    The price for a non member of the Lemmings Club will be £20 for the weekend camping/flying, no fly zone details will be given on the day of arrival.

    It has been arranged with a local pub for bar meals in the evenings.

    Bottle of brandy given to the closest spot landing!

    We shall be in the field from 4pm on Friday 13th! Hope to see you and many more at the fly in.

    Best wishes, safe flying, Wendy
