David Bock Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi I am a new pilot from Germany who will be visiting Cornwall over Christmas to see my family. I will pack my Parajet V3 in the hope of getting in some flying in Cornwall. Can anyone recomend a Paramotor friendly site not to far from Callington?

gazzer04 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hi Dave You can fly from Davidstow airfield I believe, contact asquaddie on this forum as he has said contact him if I was going down that way. I hope to be down over Christmas near Bude and have a place I used a few weeks ago and could probably do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin (Simon W) Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 What about @David Bock (the person asking) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 David, you are welcome any time. Just need to give me dates and I'll let you know. I have mentioned it many times, on here and in person. Any guys are welcome to fly from Davidstow airfield, located in North Cornwall. It is on the doorstep of the Bodmin moors and about 6 minutes flying time to the lovely North rugged coastline. It is a Microlight club, so some rules are in place, like non-fly zones, £5 a day (insurance) and a member needs to be on location. I’m still not flying at the moment, but happy to have a day out or get another member out there with you.

alan_k Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Ah, should really have said 'in the new year when the weather is good ...' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bock Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thanks, Davidstow is on my doorstep, well almost as I'll be staying near Callington. Many years ago I was in the Moorland flying club and did my 1st weight shift solo from Davidstow so would be good to go there again. Warm gloves packed so fingers crossed for a dry not too windy day. ill arrive Callington Tuesday so maybe I need the week there will be a flying window.

asquaddie Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Dave Moorland flying club is still there, just changed it's name to Davidstow Flying Club. Maybe a few guys are still there - like Bill or Ian etc. Maybe see you over soon then Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bock Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Ian was my instructor back in the day! ill take a drive up there while I'm in Cornwall, an excuse to pick up some Davidstow cheese to bring back to Germany photo is Ian and I at Davidstow around 1998 Edited December 15, 2017 by David Bock Added photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 How things turn out. Ian has stopped flying ML's and now flys PPG's and Trikes. If you want I'll contact him and maybe you might want to meet up. Let me know and I'll contact him? * * Just remembered that there are two Ians, Ian Stokes or Ian Callaghan Makes a big different I'm afraid, because Ian Strokes was murder in Africa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bock Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Arrived in Cornwall. I will venture to Davidstow on Wednesday with the hope of a quick fly, wind and weather seems ok. is there a contact number for the club? And idea what time the chaps are around?

asquaddie Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 No problems. As mentioned before it is a club and you need to follow some simple rules. £5 per day, sign some paper work, read some rules and you can fly all day. Not sure what level you're at, but could be flyable all day looking at the forecast. I'm available from 1000 hrs tomorrow, give me a call when you plan to be there, because I am only 10 minute drive to the airfield. 07753857800 Tony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
