CAA didn't actually put a ban in like they did in Europe. It's just advice so as far as the law is concerned, you are ok to fly from Wednesday.esp with boris new rules.

I have had a quick skim (50 page doc) and all seems well for getting "some" flying done.

Pennine soaring club are sticking with the BHPA (I expect most clubs to do the same)
The BHPA are being a bit wooly so by default are sat with the status quo.... so club site based free-flight is still in limbo for now.
(I would expect this to change reasonably quickly)

So its between land owners and individual pilots for those of us who fly outside club sites.

A little off topic........I built my garage years ago with a runway beam, hoist and vacuum lifter. Some of the granite blocks I have are 300 kg. I also have a small elec forklift. The tree I made during lockdown is about 350 kg....

 

 

Wow , normally any copper I get get turned in to ingots, I couldn’t put that in the pot

Found two fields, nicely cut recently. Tracked down the farmer but he was out, though spoke with his mother. Now waiting a call back...

Nothing to do with the decisions the BHPA make but all boating restrictions were based on the "essential travel" restrictions and they have all been relaxed. The RYA have given the green light for all of it. I better get the ski out !

Fingers crossed for similar actions for flying
