Mike Ames Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi All, Yeah, it's that old chestnut again... I'm based in Farnborough and have been trying to locate a nearby suitable site take off / landing site but haven't had any luck so far. Is anyone able to tell me of any available sites that they use in the Surrey / Hampshire area ? I'm not looking to barge in on anyone's private flying site, I'm just trying to find out what's available so that I can work from there. Thanks, Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas_whitmore Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi Mike ' sites in Surrey seem to be a bit thin on the ground , there is Barry's field at Guildford/ flexford your side of the hogs back . You've probly read the other posts about it . The search is on going though. Cas . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve342 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi Mike, there's a few of us in the area around Basingstoke/Hook scouting sites. Barrys field for sure is an option, we checked it out a few weeks ago and grass needs cut, PM me for further info on that and other possibles.

Szabi Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just talked to Barry, he says he is waiting for an approval on a building plan, so paramotor pilots may lose this place later this year. Still OK to go there in the next few months though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szabi Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I started the season with an 80-minute flight from Barry`s farm, the site is in good shape, maybe the ground is not as dry as it should be (no cars allowed on the grass), but good enough for the take-off.

Szabi Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Argh, I should have gone there instead of the coast... Landed on 2 feet in 20+ mph NE wind (forecast was 9 mph South), got a big applause from bystanders who thought I wouldn`t make it. Have to send a thank you letter to the wing manufacturer.
